OFA 2 and 3 can lead to paramedics and firefighting careers, though they do have other requirements to each of their own.

Don't want to burst your bubble, but OFA jobs as a FA only are getting tough. They do not pay that well. I think Superstore paid $11 an hour, that was until they trained their own staff and paid them an additional $0.50 per hour to their salaries.

Problem is that in this economy, companies are looking at ways to save money, and paying their own staff to be FA while doing their regular duties saves them $$$ since they don't have to pay an OFA to it around when there is no one who needs to be saved.

I for one have my level II, for 8 years now and that seems to be the way companies are going to save money.

this is true...i am in the same boat. Our company doesn't hire FA only personell...you must have a trade and butt loads experience.

on the other hand, try the PNE, its fulltime-temp but it pays decent...you might even land a annual job there.
