DISCLAIMER - I used to work in Emergency Medical Services and I have a lot of compassion for firefighters, paramedics and law enforcement officers. I went to paramedic school with one of the firefighters in the photograph below.
The city of Vallejo, California is one of the first cities to face a tough tough decision of filing for bankruptcy protection. Many people voice outrage when they see how much police officers and firefighters make. What I don’t see is those people going to school, and trying to become cops or firefighters.
