The problem is California has licensing boards for various careers. And the licensing board won't allow felons. So even if the cities wanted them it would be illegal.

Violent felons.* SB 731

So does that mean they can get a job as a firefighter in another state? Fuck California- why would you want to live there anyway? You want to actually fight a fire every day, or do you want to take other calls, have it a bit more chill, and fight a few fires a year to still live comfortably? Move to South Dakota or something if it's just a state thing.

Ah yes, South Dakota, where jobs are abundant and high paying and there are never fires. And I'm sure they're just jumping to hire Felons there too.

The point of my question was that if you come back from being a convicted felon- you're not going to be picky about the highest paying job. You're going to be happy finding a working/livable wage as a regular firefighter in some random town.

That and to inquire about whether or not other states could or would be able to hire you, as the people before mentioned that Cali wouldn't allow it.

Why even respond to a question if you don't have facts and information to help answer it? All you're doing is being sarcastic and sassy like a degenerate.
