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.

Not in canada. I think they would have been right up there at the top regardless of 9/11 and they should be.

Also, there level of education is irrelevant. So is their motivation for becoming a fireman in the first place IMO. They risk their lives to save other peoples lifes in important ways. That deserves a high level of presitge.
