[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew has been training to be a firefighter in the Midwest. He pivoted to EMT because there are so few paid firefighting jobs in the area (a lot of volunteer squads and $40k base salary for paid). He works for a private ambulance service (common in IN) now and brings in about $38k including overtime and has experienced multiple workplace injuries at 27 years old. It’s a grueling route for most.[/quote] At one point in my life, I was using a lot of ambulances, and I recall one of the EMTs telling me it's physically taxing work that takes its' toll on the body. Would your nephew consider pivoting to plumbing? Still physical, different type of emergencies, but higher pay.[/quote]
