Question A couple questions about the job
Hey there everybody I had some questions about the job
1 how to find a non-militaristic crew. I’m not looking to join the Marines but get paid worse. I wanna work hard and be a professional, but I’m not looking to get yelled at and get treated like dirt if I don’t deserve it
2 is it pretty easy to make friends with your crew? currently I’m doing a fire science degree for structural firefighting and they’re having us read a rookie Guide book and a lot of it is saying you will not be well liked for your first year as a structural firefighter and you’re gonna have to do chores for everybody and get treated like a servant, is that similar in wildland?
(I don’t mind helping people out and doing my fair share, but I also don’t want to get treated like an indentured servant.)
3 how do I be a good asset to my crew? I don’t ever like the idea of being deadweight or holding people back what are some good things to do when you first get assigned to your crew to help out?
4 are there many job openings post career if I do this for a few seasons, will there be many jobs where this experience or skills transfer over well?

Is this still a thing anywhere?
