How I should make my way into a wildland firefighting career?

I'm a senior in high school in Texas and I was wondering how I should make my way into a wildland firefighting career. I have been accepted into college but I'm not sure if I want to go and I don't know if it will be necessary for wildland firefighting. I don't want to waste 20k dollars on schooling that I don't need for my job. I am just trying to figure out how to start up my career fighting forest fires. Is it on the job training or an apprenticeship program, do I need college, will I have to move out of state for training? #fire-fighter #wildfire #career #college #firefighter
