Who here is lifting for career reasons?

After I got out the military I did private contracting for a bit until recently where I trained and got my certs in emt, hazmat and firefighting 1 planning to be a firefighter but life hit me and realized the lifestyle my wife and daughter and I were living couldn't wait years until I maybe or.maybe. it became a firefighter so now I work in oil making $28 an hour while my wife makes $27 an hour in an office and our daughter gets great daycare and everything we didn't have. I have no passion for my work and neither does my wife. She wanted to be a juvenile detention counselor and I a firefighter. Life hits you hard and unless you go through with your dreams you'll become complacent and fall into order where you're making a living for your kid instead if yourself which isn't a bad thing but you lost your life to create theirs.

I'm in the military now, aspiring to be a firefighter when I get out. I currently have a 2-year extension for a deployment to finish and then afterwards it's gonna be a full-time pursuit for the fire department. I hope it's not too late for you to turn around and chase a dream before it dies.

Is because I sit in a chair all day a career reason?

Just finished my fire academy. Honestly everyone is different lots of fatties lots
Of skinny lanklets and some serious real athletes

Really now? How do the fatties qualify?

>>42215479
I lift because people that are muscular and in shape are more likely to be accepted for a job.

Already in the career I want, keep lifting so that I never find myself in a situation where my physical ability let's me or someone else down.

I work in a white collar profession. B4 consulting, just makes me looks sexier to the girls in bumble. I'm a dick though that just pumps and dump because I never got this attention early on in my life. I told myself If I pop a virgin during one of these one night stnads i'll commit to her, too bad that is nigh impossible.

I lift/run so I can get into SWAT mobile reserve. They get to work out on the clock 5 days a week.

I salute you sir. Well put.

Not in the sense you mean, but I am. All the people who are saying yes are lifting bc their job demands the strength. For me it is to break sterotypes for myself. Going to be chemical engineer, and lifting is my way to show I'm not a run of the mill nerdy beta that most ChemE's are

Being a firefighter doesn't require much strength.
I mean, it makes you better at the job, but the job doesn't require it.
I was a retained firefighter here in England for a couple of years, and the training was exactly the same of a wholetime. The strength tests were fucking pathetic.

All part of muh equality though innit, to have more women and fags on board.
I don't think anyone in Grenfell was thanking equality laws when the female firefighters couldn't carry their relatives out.
