Answer 1

Chantelle should seriously consider looking for a more appealing career. It is important to be in a career that aligns with your interests and passions, and if she has realized that being a firefighter is not the right path for her, it is better to make a change sooner rather than later. It is also important for her to communicate her feelings and concerns with the instructors at the academy to see if there are any alternatives or support available to help her transition to a different career path.
