people from dangerous situations, like collapsed or burning buildings or
crashed vehicles. In some countries, they are also trained in Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) and operate ambulances in addition to being a firefighter.

fire
fighters go on to earn degrees in fire science in order to advance in their
careers. New hires must complete intensive training programs, usually at a
state or local fire training academy. Some departments require their recruits
to participate in apprenticeship programs that may include college courses. In
addition to passing pre-employment written, physical and medical exams, fire
fighters are usually required to earn certification as emergency medical
technicians (EMTs).

Healthcare Administrator
Duties and Responsibilities: Health care administrators manage
the administrative tasks of hospitals, medical laboratories, physician
practices and other health care facilities. In small offices, they may be the
only administrators answering phones, filing patient records, issuing and
paying bills, and processing insurance claims. Larger facilities may have
enough work to assign a single task to inexperienced administrators. For
example, an administrator may only handle processing patient payments. In
addition, new workers may only perform tasks while under the supervision of
more experienced staff.
Salary:
$31,415 - $104,939
Education:
Many higher-level health care
administration executives have a master's degree in a field such as public
health or business, hospital or nursing administration. A bachelor's degree is
often sufficient for entry-level positions, or for employment with smaller
facilities when coupled with relevant health care experience.
I don’t want
