My biggest mistake was not starting earlier. I'm a 39 year old Firefighter/Paramedic, and it's a job that I won't be physically able to do forever. I moved away from my stressful career in IT, and found that while even this job is stressful, I have more free time to travel, explore hobbies, get in better shape, etc. It was a pay cut for sure, but I'm a whole lot happier.
The long term plan is nursing.
- jf22 12y agoI don't know of a single Firefighter/Paramedic who doesn't complain about their shift schedule interferring with their life and how much of a pain it is to have to go to mandatory training all the time whereas tons of people I know just do their 40 hours a week in IT and go home.
