<human>: (Using a throwaway because paranoia)
Basically, I had a moment of crisis yesterday when somebody was introduced to me and told me "10 years will fly by before you know it." I don't know if she meant it as a warning or what, but based on how fast these months have flew by...it scared me. 

Has anyone else been here? I'm 22, live in New York, graduated with a history degree and have an accounting job (it's all who you know), and have no clue what I actually want to do. I took this job because it's better than being unemployed, and if I could deal with an office, I'd actually be on a really solid path. 

I want to do something crazy. My first thoughts were military-Navy or Air Force. My roommate suggested FDNY, saying he wish he had done it before he was too old. I've looked into this-it's an excellent career, but highly competitive and basically I've been told the only way to get in is by being an EMT first, because they're the only people they take. So I thought more about being an EMT, and my friends told me not to use it as a stepping stone-do it because you want to do it, which is excellent advice on its own. 

Basically, I want to help people, I don't want to be at a corporate business casual desk all my life, and I want to make a decent amount of money. I think I really could do well as a firefighter (it's not something I always wanted to do, but I never DIDN'T want to do it, either, if that makes sense), but the path there seems intense and not a guarantee. But at this point, I also don't want to let anything scare me, either, because the alternative is corporate, which in my mind is even crazier.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: What can a 22 yr old with a corporate job do that isn't a corporate desk job, helps people, and allows a good lifestyle? Has anyone been here?
