How am I supposed to juggle a part time job, college and hobbies without burning out?
I've wanted to be an EMT since 2019. However, when I researched more about it I found out that even before the pandemic, most EMS providers experienced burnout, depression, PTSD, and suicidal tendencies. Then, I began to wonder If I would still be able to enjoy the hobbies I enjoy like painting or building while maintaining my dream career. Please let me know what you think.
What paths (in tech) are available in EMS?
A career area I want to explore is EMS: Emergency Medical Services. I know that EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters populate most of the field. I want to broaden my perspective of what's out there. Personally, I'm interested in roles that use technology and planning, such as EMS Management. What are some career professions available for those that want to enter EMS management, or other related areas? Would like to hear from professionals in Emergency Medical Serivces, or related backgrounds (healthcare, public health, clinicians, etc).
