Hi everyone, I left the medical field last year as I realized I didn't enjoy it. I am really interested in EM and received an offer to work as a Disaster Recovery Team Lead with AmeriCorps (specifically with SBP). After deep diving in this group, I am nervous to take this opportunity bc I am worried I won't be able to make a career in it w the current job market. (For reference I am 26 w no prior experience in EM but lots of leadership experience)
I also have the opportunity to work as a 911 dispatcher which has some relation to EM and I would actually have a livable wage. However, it is not as hands on as I would like compared to the AmeriCorps gig.
Just looking for some advice from those that are established in the field. Thanks!
