Student’s Questions:
Q: From your perspective, do you think the firefighter’s compensation is too much?
A: I think it’s a little high, but the demand for that kind of worker is very high.
Q: Whose point of view do you support, Weir or Meyer?
A: I guess I support Weir’s point of view, because that amount of overtime work is unsustainable for a physically demanding job.
