I made a radical change after 23 years in one business and then worked in a radically different one for 18 years. It worked out well for me.

If we are talking Mark Perry..giving up FD for the same pay, then yes assuming you would be going to a lower risk profession and a better on/off schedule.

It all rides on so many factors that must be accounted for in order to make that decision.

Mark , Being from the same background I honestly can't say,,,,, the Fire service is great. But all things change.
If something came along idk, but the schedule, pay, and reward would be hard to replace.

Yup.Company just raised prices due to cost of doing business. Now comes the backlash slump. By Summer all will be forgiven and we will be back on track. Would you want your 1.00 snicker bar being 1.25?

Mark , you can ask a question without giving your own response ha
And yes the fire service has changed , seems it doesn't have the same feel it used to

Not a chance...I like being retired.

I could not. I have been eligible for retirement for 4 years now and plan to retire when I get to 66 sometime next year.
I like the job for the money. Working in a job that has minimal requirements is depressing but I work hard and feel sorry that the public does not get rid of the institution where I work. Or mandate a change there.
