I respect your continued positive perspective despite the challenges of the industry as a whole. It has been reflected consistently throughout your posts. Better luck with your scheduled route in the coming days.

I agree Errol I really appreciate the positive attitude about the industry.

So no money since the trip was cancelled? That sucks but I would like to be home that much. I would still have to pay the bills though.

Hope it works out well for you brother. Stay safe out there in the meantime.

Hey Greg! I also am in the same boat. I currently am a Paramedic and I have been at it for just under 15 years total including my EMT time. I have a family too and was wondering if changing careers is something I want to pull the trigger on. I spoke with Millis a while back and they seem to have a great training program. If I decide to go back I would definitely consider them. I am out of the Chicago area so it would be regional. The only problem is the best they can do is get you home every 11-14 days. That's a little difficult for me. Ideally I would like to be gone 2 or 3 nights a week and then home for most of the weekend. Good luck finding that right? I work in the Cook County jail and I am just over the crap. Let me know how it works out for you.- Andrew

I love Renae's response. I found great inspiration reading it. The hardest part is taking that first step. Good luck Renae!
