What field or job to pursue and how do I get training for that job or field?

I'm an associate at a local retail store and I'm losing my job soon. I have two college degrees in General Studies and can't afford training or classes really. What do I do? In no specific order I have been looking for more information specifically how to get into: - Low voltage - Control access - Fire alarm - Fire sprinkler - Audio/sound Is there any reference for free or low cost training? Just trying to get out of retail for something more. Note: This question was submitted anonymously by a student.

What profession did you choose? Why? How many years of college did you need to go through? What jobs did you work before you landed your present professional job? How can I decide if I should earn a Ph.D. in this field? Were you in a college program? Did you have to pivot and go back to school at a later date?

How do I become a Fire Department Public Information Officer? What areas have PIOs? What are their specific duties?

I currently serve as a volunteer firefighter in Moosic, Pennsylvania. While I really enjoy the firefighting aspect of the department, I enjoy the public relations activities so much more. Ive done a lot of research into PIOs, and information is hard to come by. I have, however, looked into South Metro Fire Rescue and gotten a lot of information regarding their Public Information Officers. Just a dream job that I am interested in getting more information about! #pio #fire #fire-department #fire-department-pio #public-relations #fire-public-relations #public-relations-officer
