But my point is that by not being a professional firefighter, he obviously has a career unrelated to this. His parents didnt mention that.

This is a story about a young man graduating from a firefighting program. And you take issue that his full C.V. is not included?
weird.
Not weird at all. Springsteen pretends to be a man of the people and he and his wife put their son out there as a working class hero - when, in fact, he is probably a voluntary fireman with another career. Now, please don’t ignore the fact that I think it is laudatory and wonderful that the son is doing this. I’m just cynical about his parents. I live in his neighborhood and while Springsteen is personally a nice guy, his politics are shameless. And please don’t just assume I’m somehow putting their son down. Quite the opposite.
Did he save a life during training?

Yes, very weird and getting weirder.
The story is about a young man, and you just want to talk about the sins of the father.
The parents rightfully expressed pride in their son, and you have turned that into them “making him a working class hero.”
Oh, stop.
