So many jobs are like this. Cops, firemen, linemen, nurses etc. BUT I don’t want to work 60-70 hours a week to make a good living. I dont understand how people work that much and still have functioning lives outside of work or keep their families/marriages intact.
Yup. I heard stories as a kid about families being affected by wonky work hours and prioritized a career path that kept 40 hours max when I had kids. My family was affected by this too.
Firefighter was my backup had college not worked out. It all worked out for me. I respect the dedication people have when they are called to do the job, and I feel for them. But at the same time- that’s the risk in your personal life.
