He could be anything, and Springsteen's son wants to be a firefighter

https://nypost.com/2019/03/29/springsteens-son-no-42-on-list-to-become-jersey-city-firefighter/

"Sam Springsteen, son of famed musicians Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa Springsteen, is ranked 42 out of 961 people who took the Jersey City Fire Department’s civil service exam, records show, a number that could be high enough to get him into the Hudson River town’s next Bravest class.

Sources previously told The Jersey Journal the city plans to send 60 of the exam’s top scorers to training.

The son of the “I’m on Fire” singer was a volunteer at the Colts Neck Fire Department in January 2014 after graduating from the Monmouth County Fire Academy, according to NJ.com."

Bruce and Patti must be so proud.

The parents respected their child's wishes. They didn't try to shoehorn him into a school or career that wasn't for him.

that Bruce and Patti didn't pay millions of $$ to get their son into an "elite school"!

I cant' imagine anything that would make parents more proud than what Sam has accomplished.

The oldest is Evan. He's the only one into music.

Lovely family and Bruce and Patti have been a couple now for 30 years.

had chosen a career as an "influencer" and that's why she forced her to go to USC. That's over now though.
