I’m trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they’re in and hate. I wanted to get together a list of good questions for them to ask themselves so they can use the answers to compare options like “do you prefer to work sitting or moving around,” “do you want to not work weekends” etc.
I knew growing up that I wanted to be a Paramedic. Both Grandfathers were part time/volunteer firefighters. My older sister became an EMT. I loved the TV show: Emergency.
I became an Army medic and continued as a civilian. This coming December will be my 38th year in emergency medicine. I’m still on the road. We’ll see how long I can last.
