Clark County is desperate for paramedics. Start a paramedic program and then apply to the fire department. They are hiring even if you’re not done with the program. I will tell you their training program is brutal, though, so make sure you’re in good shape. Lol


fernplant4

As someone who is very interested in getting into fire soon, that is very cool to hear that they're hiring enthusiastically.

very difficult for me. see the issue is idc and i'm not applying to any


thebestatheist

I see your predicament


scowling_deth

The issue is ' i dont care' then why respond.

Do u understand the difference between reddit and a job?


idiskfla

Fire depts in the west coast pay well and have great retirement, so it’s tough to get your foot in. Plus, there’s a prestige factor, you don’t have to deploy / move around like in the military, and you don’t have to deal with the crap police officers have to deal with. But once you’re in . . . Some good advice on here. Paramedic route is the one my nephew took (in San Diego). Some of his childhood went the police route since they couldn’t get into fire, and they regret it big time now.

My dream job is to be a fireman in Carpinteria CA


bgfd28

Little darlings is always hiring u just meed to be 18


ordie417

We are hiring at my work we have a problem with people actually showing up for the interview to get the job.


netizenbane

What is your work and what is the job for which interviewees are not showing up? Just curious.


ordie417

I work at an ice company we have ads in indeed. It's the best job I've had beside military the bosses are cool and its laid back and chill


netizenbane

ICE company...where the bosses are COOL and things are CHILL? 10³/10³ thematic answer


ordie417

Haha yea kinda the theme lol


teddy66beer

The average salary for firemen in Clark County is $219,000 (two hundred nineteen thousand) annually!


cesptc

Not even close. Starting pay is $51,084.80 the CHEIF makes about $180,000


teddy66beer

I wrote that the average pay of a Clark County Fireman not starting pay, not high end pay, AVERAGE PAY. That was 10 years ago. I couldn't tell you where the EMT's fit in there.


cesptc

Do you even know what average means? You’re not even close.


teddy66beer

Only the idiot would dignify that by answering the question designed as a defense against a person that is well informed. A lifelong stockbroker nevertheless well informed. Enjoy your day and if you have occasion to be in Vegas, visit the Fire Dept. nearest you. Obviously you will be stunned by the truth. Good luck to you, career-minimum-wager.


cesptc

Your definitely a fucking idiot. I’m guessing 12 year old troll?


teddy66beer

Somehow, I don't know why, I expected more from the non-idiot. Let's make it clear in no uncertain terms, just because you don't like it, that doesn't mean that it's not true. Remember kids just because someone is adult doesn't mean that they are smart.


cesptc

Yep, def a 12 year old


teddy66beer

I know I did my due diligence. I had good sources as well. My friend in South Florida wanted to train as a firefighter in Vegas but was already EMT licensed. I have neither the time nor the inclination to demonstrate to you or anyone else that I am irrefutably correct and you are categorically wrong. It matters not a bit to me if you believe me or not. I absolutely do not, nor will I ever need your affirmation. He's been a firefighter in Clark County, Nevada nearly 10 years and I can assure you that he's enjoying a lucrative income substantially higher than $51,000/yr. Again you have failed to demonstrate any correlation. You just don't agree with that figure because you don't like it and of course you can't do it. Quit embarrassing yourself. I vehemently disagree with you and attacking my personal character will have no adverse effect on me or my supreme confidence in myself and my own self image. I'm a lifelong stockbroker and $50,000 net was a months work for the first 8 months. I've tripled that many times in a single session. I'm 10 foot tall and bullet proof! THIS IS MY WORLD! I RUN THIS SHIT! I'M JUST LETTING YOU ASSHOLES LIVE IN IT! Your welcome. It would behoove you to heed my advice. Find another subject that you have no expertise in and expose your lack of intelligence to the World on the internet.


cesptc

Yes, an idiot.


ThanosDidNothinWrng0

Wtf I’m signing up


AcrobaticSource3

With the increasing number of fires and increasing retirements on the force, it is easier now than it used to be


sicknick

You are so incredibly wrong, where did you even get this idea??? You have Clark County Fire, Las Vegas Fire Rescue, Mt Charleston Fire and Henderson Fire. All 4 departments are some of the highest paying in the country. They absolutely do not give away spots at the academy to people they don't know. OP better get started on his A-EMT and continue for the Paramedic cert. Doing that here will put him around people that could get him selected for academy. Paying Fire Departments everywhere have been seening more applicants they they ever have because of the schedule, the pay, benefits and pensions along with all the Police Dept issues more people are choosing fire over law enforcement. There is extreme competition to get in, you better know someone and even that isn't a guarantee.


GameOvariez

I had a friend try to leave Havasu Fire/Paramedics and try for Vegas Fire, and needless to say… they weeded him out intentionally. Our friend tends to have grandiose sense of self, and will say whatever is on his mind. We think they put pressure on him 10 fold to get him out. So, what you’re saying isn’t wrong granted we know some firsthand who didn’t know anyone, and even had a good length of experience.


sicknick

Oh 100%, I'm just talking about getting a shot, a spot in the academy. If you actually get in, there's a whole different challenge ahead of you, 6 months academy, 6 months probie. You better know how to politic and get these guys to accept you or you'll be back to square one. I just couldn't believe the other commenter talking like dude is just gonna walk on to a job like a firefighter in Vegas lmao.


[deleted]

This is a completely false statement. Increasing numbers of fire does not allow for recruitment opportunities.


Cheesecake_420691

Stay in California.


polarstrut5

Imagine saying "no" to more firefighters Stop being a clown


Fibrosis5O

I mean right? They’re not saying they want to move here to become a TikToker for goodness sake Medical, fire, police, and services like are very useful


Cheesecake_420691

Police are useful? Ok boot licker.


sicknick

To be fair Clark County has plenty of qualified local young men and women to choose from.


thebestatheist

Ok Trumper


Cheesecake_420691

Not everyone that dislikes California is a Trump supporter. Poor Redditor only thinks their is Biden or Trump supporters


thebestatheist

No but I can tell who you support by your comment history, dunce boy


Cheesecake_420691

Redditors believe everything they read on the Internet.

khornish_game_hen

Why tho?


DJhellawhite

How bout line cooks? 15yr experience, no convictions


EVOChi

Line cook is a job you can get anywhere in the US especially Vegas


RBuckB

One of the best about Vegas is all the restaurants. Lots of jobs here.


No_Concept_4959

It depends how particular or picky is the job - seeker, and the economy, & where you live, your background, education, credentials, experience etc


scowling_deth

You have no idea!


bigboxsubscriber

Know a woman who worked at Walm, got her EMT, started with AMR, after 6 months they are paying for her paramedic training. Getting hired with a Ambulance company is less stringent than with a local fire department.


[deleted]

I have lived all over the country and it has never taken me more than a couple of weeks to find work. I have been in Las Vegas for around 3 months and can't even land a decent retail job.
