Cycling Excusiast
Well got the insomia again and find myself on CC
Thinking..I've long thought about changing careers and becoming a paramedic, to give up my current job/career, take a big paycut and go and train for three years on the job before qualifying.
This is not something that I could do today as still learning to drive and I need to have held a license for two years before I can apply for the training placement.
Being a paramedic wouldn't be my dream profession - that in in itself is a very long story that seems further away than this one.
Despite the paycut, the one big thing putting me off is the shift work for a long period of my intial days as a paramedic and whilst training and it's impact on me and importantly my ability to train consistently and continue with cycle racing etc which is a big passion and keeps me sane.
Any paramedics on here or people who do shift work have experience of how it affects their ability to train consistently. As it's not the dream profession I'm trying to think long about whether it's worth sacrificing a few things for it
