How much do firemen (fire officers) get paid?

just out of interested anyone know the starting salary?

Would i be mad to leave a FTSE 100 company for the fire brigade, i dont think so as my jobs boring and not very rewarding.

Any good jobs anyone can think of whereby its rewarding and gets you out and about. So far i have come up with,

Fireman
Police
Banking (investment/financial advisor)
Air Traffic Control
Pilot
Estate Agent
Taxi driver/part time car dealer


I have a degree in Engineering and experience but i seem to just push paper so i want to get out and about, maybe i should consider sales reping (engineering products/services)
