Because my 3 friends who are firefighters are only firefighters because they didnt go to college, couldnt get other jobs and this job has ridiculous retirement/benefits. Now thats prestige.

I'd be curious to see this same poll pre 9/11, in my mind this is when people seemed to go nuts over firefighters nationwide.

If you've ever seen the show Rescue Me on FX it plays to this sort of thing a lot. How the firefighters got way more tail, recognition, etc (and understandably so) after 9/11. Of course they are NYPD firefighters, though I'm sure the guys fanning flames in Boise got some more cred during that time as well.
