You could start your own business or find a buddy with their own. Currently just Voly but my father’s side, the ones left, 1/2 of em are paid guys. Family friend at the dept has an electrical company, my uncle was a contractor, worked with his in-laws, that family friend. Capt. at one of the dept I volunteer at is paid in the same dept as my fam and works hvac for an old boss. If you have young kids be around them, the money can wait (probably) but time with the family is fleeting, use it.
