>>897695I was looking at that already. I am currently getting set up to take wilderness firefighting courses at my local community college. I'm not taking this lightly, I am very serious about this. I just don't like being around other people, desu. I don't really consider myself introverted I've just had so much fuckery in my life, and this is a good way to get away from that.
To answer your question (to some extent) yes, I have spent upwards of 2 weeks alone apart from one trip to the grocery store that took 15 minutes and the rabbit I was living with, and I felt fine. Being alone isn't an issue for me, at least at that point. I understand six months is a much longer time but I'm not really concerned. I don't go hang out with friends, I don't have friendly conversations with current coworkers, I rarely speak to family.
And in regards to qualifications, many fire lookouts have little to no experience or qualifications when they begin. You can find numerous examples of this with a quick Google search. However I decided to get schooling that is relevant to get the knowledge to be most useful as well as to explore other options in similar fields. Don't assume I'm taking this as some half-assed video game fantasy, some people are capable of more than that.
