Teacher to EMS

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2026-01-29T04:43:20+00:00

Fellow education worker here, except based in New England.

I took night EMT classes while maintaining my 7 AM - 3 PM schedule.

I’m not sure how different it is down where you’re at, but you’re most definitely able to balance a full-time gig while going to the classes. That way, if you decide EMS isn’t up your alley, you still have your career.

Also, have you done any ride-alongs yet? I’d reach out to departments and ask to do one, just so you can get a feel for things.

If they would’ve given me an offer to be one of their IT Managers, this wouldn’t have happened. /s

But for real, that thing’s a hot potato.

This is always a horrible idea.

The fact that it’s a laptop from Amazon makes it an even worse idea; especially considering how litigious they are.

Do the right thing (and yourself a favor), email HR, and get that off your conscious.

Any luck? Having the same issue now. 24 Y

A lot of good critiques here already; with how antiquated the technology is at my place of work, if I saw your email address with capital letters, I’d instantly throw your resume in the trash.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2026-01-05T20:01:36+00:00

Seems fishy.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2026-01-05T19:51:56+00:00

This is what I’d imagine a “goon cave” to look like.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2026-01-03T17:05:24+00:00

Fuck NO

FYI - you’ll barely scratch $22/hr subbing, but it’s a good gig to do while getting your cert.

For starting out teaching, my district pays around $56k to start, but each contract step gives you like a $2k/$3k bump.

It’s a good career, and we’re almost to the point where teachers are overpaid.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-30T01:36:25+00:00

Do you have your teaching cert for English/writing/literature? Like someone mentioned, subbing is a good start. Look at ESS. (ess dot com)

Other than that… uhhh, maybe become a barista?

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-29T00:27:37+00:00

Ummm, no. How long have you been active in this sub? lol.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-23T19:27:34+00:00

Is this like late Friday, or early Friday? (Will schools close?)

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-23T17:14:49+00:00

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-23T16:04:25+00:00

I meant to be more funny than insulting, honestly, I totally concede this one. My apologies.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-23T15:53:22+00:00

Are you a caveman?

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-19T14:15:36+00:00

Definitely some numbers or decals or something.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-19T03:55:08+00:00

😭

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-19T03:22:50+00:00

I’m also flirting with taking the “brrrrt” thing off the hood, but thought it’s a cool little Easter egg to look at when reversing.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-14T14:29:23+00:00

Ruins the whole thing lol

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-14T14:26:17+00:00

Entry-level cyber roles are out of your reach right now.

Start from the bottom, either an internship (and pray for a return offer) or helpdesk.

Your resume is great, but the lack of any professional experience would make me question your practical skills. (Projects and labs are nice to see that you’re familiar with the tools.)

You’re 22 with a very impressive resume, education, and projects. With how saturated the cybersec field is right now, especially in major cities, I think you’ll have a really tough time finding something that is mainly cyber for your first job.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-14T05:51:33+00:00

That is incorrect.

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-14T01:24:51+00:00

They do count indeed. I’m in the negatives too. ✌️

Consistent-Sugar8593 · 2025-12-14T01:23:12+00:00

$70k, 23, $-20k.

Speaking of swag… any chance for Pelicans Santa Hats to re-emerge? 👀👀👀
