What's your opinion of an online degree for a BS in fire science?

Kind of off topic, but what are the general hair regulations? Do you have to shave your head?

Wanting to Become a Firefighter

Thanks for the reply. I am wanting to study administration in college so I can be more than just a firefighter/paramedic later in my career. What kind of classes should I be taking in High School?...

Pretty competitive here in the states as well, that is why there are such qualifications and degrees, they help to make one stand out more.

If you look at most depts., only a HS diploma or GED is required. In actuality, the HS grad is competing with the college grad. The HS grad is not going to get hired.

Working towards a BS degree online is fine, as long as the college conducting it is accredited. However, only so much can be learned from a book and at some point hands on training is a must. Basically, if you find a college you can obtain a BS on...

If looking at a bachelor's degree, I would suggest taking any HS course that may offer some college level credits, if you can. That way it reduces your classload a bit more when you do decide on a school.

You ain't the only one to have someone do that to you. We picked up a guy trippen and I ended up in the back with him bymyself and he kept grabbing my arm and putting it in his mouth and he was bigger than me. I guess we should have had a cop ride...
