If you want to learn how to become a fireman, the fastest way to really learn about the job is to speak with a local firefighter. All firefighters undergo post-secondary school training, either in a technical school, college, or firefighting academy. Since each state and fire agency sets its own hiring qualifications, one of the best places to learn about requirements is at the local firehouse

Commercial Real Estate Agent

Commercial real estate agents earned an average annual income of $90,000 as of 2013, according to the job site Indeed. This is significantly higher than the average income of $51,170 that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports for all real estate agents, including residential and commercial reps. However, BLS data is likely more skewed toward residential real estate agents, which explains the wide variance in salaries. Most commercial real estate salespersons have at least high school diplomas, but usually earn state-accredited real estate licenses before they obtain commercial real estate licenses. More employers are expecting these professionals to have associate's and bachelor's degrees. Independence, interpersonl and persuasive skills are highly desired traits of commercial real estate salespersons.

Narrator

average salary is $35,000 and $37,000 respectively

The audiobook industry is growing rapidly, but it remains very competitive, with specific artistic, technical, technological, and business requirements. It’s also by far the most time-intensive genre of voice acting work for the least amount of money. There is no shortage of narrators, and while projects may at times be plentiful, the life of a freelance narrator is like any other freelancer, with ebbs and flows in the amount of work.

For the vast majority of narrators, even those at the highest levels of the business, an agent will not help build an audiobook career. Narrators are responsible for maintaining relationships with casting directors, producers, and publishers and for booking their own projects. Independent audiobook narrators run their own small businesses, so it’s necessary to balance not only the creative demands, but also the financial management, record-keeping, tax preparing, billing, marketing, professional networking, self- and project-promotion, scheduling, and other essentials of any small business. It is possible to become a successful, full-time audiobook narrator, but it demands focus, determination, skill, stamina, professionalism, reliability, talent, flexibility, financial investment, and time.
