Hey folks,

just wondering which aspect of the ES ye are all interested in

I'm sure some people will be specifically interested in one area as a career, some people just reading on all of them out of interest, others deciding between them all.

Me, I'm gonna get through college and then going to try get into the fire services

Also interested in the Gardaí and to a lesser extent the ambulance service.

I'm a final yr med student, half thinking of doing Emergency Medicine as a career so I guess that counts!

Waiting for the physical for the Guards at the moment. Also have a brother in the army, dad a retired policeman and grandad was a fireman.

Apart from that I was working as a journo back home for 4 years, covering crime so I know it from this side too.
