i was debating on becoming a forest fire fighter to help with the wild fires in canada
however, they make you share a room with multiple people, give you no safety equipment and pay extremely poorly only 16 dollars canadian=12 dollars american, u aint bringing much or anything home after the season is over

seems like volunteer slave labor

anyone tried this type of job irl?


edit:ima not take this job it does not pay enough money for even rent 1 bedroom apartment where i live, guna stop replying

if sharing a room with people is an issue, i don't think firefighting is for you

yup i dont wana share a room with anyone, id rather sleep outside

part of my culture is men are not to share a room with other men

guess no firefighting for me

i might reconsider tho, i saw a place where they do let u have ur own room but u gotta pay them for ur own room

Volunteer work is not the same thing as slavery.

wrong, cus some people volunteer to become help on farms but get turned into slaves cus they bring no money home after the season is over, this situation seems simular

You do it out of obligation to the community and nation, not for the money.

Then don't do it. Go so sell cars or manage a fast food restaurant or something. Why are you complaining about it on this forum.

It's "you are" or "you're" not "ur".
