So what does everyone do for a living?

Tough job that. Well done for sticking it out

I can’t imagine myself doing much else now, but it has done very weird things to my psyche about stuff. I saw someone else was firecrew in the thread so I suspect their heads similar.

I’m currently an AAP (what used to be known as an Ambulance Technician) and an apprentice paramedic, uni finishing on Friday and fingers crossed, qualifying fully in November.

A bobby who retired same time as me went to work on the ambo. First week out of training they started messing his shifts about so he quit.

You'd think that after investing all those resources in training their staff they'd treat them a little better, but I guess theyre not used to staff having the financial wherewithall to be able to tell them where to stick their job on a whim.

Our eldest went through Paramedic training and now she's been promoted to 'controller', earning a decent wage. My Mrs is now in her 3rd month of NHS full paid sickness following her mothers demise. In stark comparison to mine, what an employer the NHS is!

Is that like team leader or unit manager?

Every ambulance service uses different terminology

She tells the trucks where to go, WMAS she is, loves her new job, she suffered being a paramedic, some of the 5hit she went to was very nasty, she's happy now.

Oh, a dispatcher. If I worked in control that’s what I’d want to do
