Exam Vs Bad Touch

I bounce at a bar in a not nice area 3 nights a week(honestly I don't really have many problems there, and get respect). I do a 1 hour local radio show which takes about 3 hours total with prep, and showtime. And Army reserves.

Damn...I don't really have any free time, now that I'm looking at it in black and white.

I _used_ to work multiple EMS gigs, and teach a few medical and nonmedical skills on the side. No side gig now, although I have looked at some day trading but...

Now I just moonlight occasionally as a high end male escort for women visiting the sandbox, or PRN dancer for the Dubai Chippendales.

Doing God's work. Well done!

I haven't worked on an ambulance in over a year..... I work FT in IT (the hours and pay are waaaaaay better), I'm a part time adjunct EMS instructor at one (and hopefully soon two or three) of the local community colleges, and I'm a PT Firefighter/EMT at a county fire station

I work 48 on 5 days off; had a drive up diabetic emergency 2 minutes into shift this morning. Refusal after IV and D-50
First patient in 2 months.
1 transport this year. Our minimum transport is 45 miles to the closest hospital, 90 miles to Level II or I.

I work 2-3 days a week subbing at the local school, $10 a hour. But I can walk to them.
Putting in for a volunteer ambulance (paid on call) 100 miles away from home, they also reimburse mileage traveled to work. Min transport is 120-150 miles and may drive for 3 hours 1 way to get to scene then turn around and drive back then to the hospital. So that will be fun

I cook BBQ on the side for customers. Been doing it for years. I quit catering due to all the mess and chaos so I provide a finished product to a customer and they serve it themselves. My major market currently is office parties, home parties for bdays,football games, anniversaries.....
I did two briskets that a customer wanted for a college football game celebration last week.

I am currently getting my insurance license as well. That is my retirement plan. Develop my clientele over the next 8-10 years then retire at 50 and stay at home managing my insurance accounts.

I'm thinking of getting a new job as a Jailer...

Guess it depends where you're at but my agency makes a significant amount more than our county jailers. In the realm of 10-15k a year.

Also anybody I know that has ever tried to be a corrections officer, quit within 8 months. Think about your job. Your locked in just like inmates are... that takes a toll on you and your family. Also pay, and benefits are not all that good >.<.
*i thank our correctional officers, this is my opinion*

New job for me. I am now the marketing guy for a group of urgent care clinics and working in the clinical area as a MA as well. I also work PRN on a medic unit and still do broadcast consulting. Busy, busy, busy.

I do photography. I focus on commercial photography because it pays well for the time commitment required compared to portrait photography. (Depending ony client, as high as $500/hr). It also clicks well with my hobby photography which is for the local fire department.

@Handsome Robb,did you have to start with WilCo in the jail or straight through to the field?

As for me, new full-time job that I'm really enjoying, plus a full school load (go GI Bill go!) After that, and with the 24/72, I may pick up additional shifts, but I'd really like to get into teaching more.

They're two separate entities so you either get hired for one or the other.

That makes sense. I wasn't sure how it worked and life took me east, so I never followed up on it, but that seems more tolerable.

Over the long term, once I have kids and stuff, I really do think that I would like to get into teaching more. I've always wanted to be a football coach too, preferably one that never punts.

I teach/precept part time for a local paramedic program. Same one as STXmedic works at. Most of my off days I'm teaching at least half day there.

I refuse to work OT at the full time place so the side money is nice.

One of the big reasons I work there too...

My time has been more sporadic lately though. Helped in starting up a consulting company that took off, so that's taken up most of my down time.
