8 years as a paramedic and need a change.
I (31m) want to change careers, but I have no idea what to do and terrified with starting over.
I have been a paramedic for 8 years. I have worked on ambulances, oil rigs, military bases, and refugee camps. It’s been a fun ride but I don’t think it’s for me anymore. I make a decent living and that would be so hard to give up.
I’ve considered nursing and healthcare avenues to go into but I’ve also considered getting out of healthcare completely.
But with today’s economy and job market I’m terrified to start over. It’s tough enough finding a job with my experience I can’t imagine going into a new field.
I’d really appreciate any advice especially from other medics or people in similar situations.
