Just do what you want to do, guys telling you not do what you want becuase of the money is the same as pushy parents forcing their children to become a doctors because it's repeatable even tho the child might hate and mostly resent them for it

Regarding Money, there is money in any field.

say you love your firefighter job, you expend all your energy into becuase it's your passion, inherently people will notice you, you move up and evauallty become a chief firefighter ( or what ever I don't know the terms, but the top dog ) now you'll be making a ton of money be in position of authority and it'll be doing something you genuinely enjoy

This place tends to advocate financial freedom, meaning you shouldn't have to rely on someone else except yourself in order to be free. That being said, have you ever considered being an entrepreneur or opening your own business

It's this simple. Women love buying shit. Being rich is definitely one way to get pussy.

But its not the only way, and you shouldn't rely on money to get women. Best case scenario there is women spending your hard earned money.

Do whatever the fuck you want to do. Stick with it. Be smart. Become the best in your field and you will be just fine financially.

I really want to be a firefighter paramedic but I see guys on here saying that I should value money over most everything else.

The real currency in life is TIME. The more control you have over your time, the happier you will be. Depending on where you will be a firefighter, you may well be working 3 days on then 3 days off. Firefighters often have side jobs also, and are looking at a nice pension. it sounds like you already have plans for that. How you go about this is up to you, and what your goals are.

I am happy with my life because of the amount of control I have over it. I am as location independent as I care to be and I also am paid well for being able to perform work with a specific skill set that is easy for me to do. So decide what will make you happy, and then do that.

Not true. Go for your dream job.

This advice comes from "Putting yourself first," and the indications that money gives to status.
