>>10448913No, I will be very sad if it doesn't work out and will have to prepare for and retake few exams next year - all while working a part-time job, most likely.
I've also got few other "Plan B"s, some even better than idea of studying what I like, but judging by how infrequently my local fire departments announce recruitment for positions I look up to, studying seems like the best way to go for now.
