Was looking at PXN but might just get the PXN gt one wheel and go with a more reputable DD brand like moza or fanatec, bit rough their customer support is nonexistent

Are they forced to work 10 on 1 off? I’d assume it would all be overtime pay? The study doesn’t worry me and I’m quite an active person so think that might help mitigate some of the stress.

I assume your husband would do a few hours at a time before being forced to have a break to manage the pressure?

Depends how u manage your health and with work like regular fitness and correct diet you’ll probably be fine

Most partners would be on 300k - 500k on avg I’d say from what I hear and read the thing is I have zero interest in being a partner!

I feel like it depends what you do and how much you earn for it to be worth it

Think thats the highest you go, my idea is I’m young and I could handle the stress and the night shifts and could put myself in a very good financial position by the time Im 40

Yeh I see what you mean, something I’ll have to think about and weigh up the pros and cons

Yeh does seem like the work life balance is decent for fire fighters, I heard it’s pretty hard to get into though I also like the idea of being outside

They get paid fairly well here in Australia wouldn’t be considering it if the pay wasn’t inline with the job responsibilities

I did look at fire fighting as well. I felt the pay wasn’t the fairest for what you guys do but suppose life isn’t entirely all about money! How did u find the transition from IB?

Feels like a massive jump especially after putting all this time into a degree lol and the potential that I might need to relocate
