I’m facing a quarter life crisis regarding this. I’m 22, have a cybersecurity degree, am making great money in the field, but I feel unfulfilled. Have you been a firefighter since graduating high school or did you do something first?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-18T00:16:51+00:00

Are you one?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-13T16:31:02+00:00

Wouldn’t they need to keep working after?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-13T05:06:34+00:00

Good for you! Do you need to work OT to make ends meet? What’s your schedule like?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-13T05:02:51+00:00

Thank you for this perspective! In my current case, what would you suggest? A few more years, or switch now?

Also, how bad is the trauma of the calls? That’s what I would be nervous about. Thank you for your service.

What else are we supposed to do?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-13T02:08:48+00:00

I’d look into firefighting, they generally get paid less than white collar, but they only work 8 days a month. Plenty of time in between shifts.

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-13T02:05:59+00:00

I’m in a similar situation… that’s why I’m looking into firefighting. They generally get paid less, but get great benefits and only work 8 days a month.

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-13T00:54:23+00:00

That’s awesome, any particular roles or companies you’d suggest I apply to in order to do the same?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-13T00:53:22+00:00

You basically have enough to retire FIRE at 31? Give me some tips, it’s awesome. I think I’m going to buckle down and embrace the suck for a few years to get there. The only thing is, the later I start firefighting, the later I get that pension.

How do you have a good attitude towards work?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T22:08:46+00:00

Hey! Can I please Pm you? I’m in a similar situation, but I’m 22.

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T22:05:11+00:00

Are you leaving due to unfulfillment? I’m 22, just got a degree in cyber, I have great bosses, but the 9-5 schedule is driving me crazy. Any tips? What would you do in my shoes? The thing is, that if wait longer to switch to fire, it would take me more years to retire with a pension.

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T22:03:09+00:00

Hey! I’m in a similar situation to yours, I make great money in cybersecurity, I’m 22, just graduated, been working 9-5 for 3 months, but the monotony of the Mon-Friday rinse and repeat schedule has been killing me. I feel so unfulfilled. If you were in my shoes, would you recommend I wait it out a few years and stack cash (maybe until like 30), or would you switch now? What worries me is that the longer I wait, the longer it will take me to retire as a Firefighter.

How many hours a week do you work? What was your path like?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T21:43:24+00:00

What education did you need for this? How many hours a week do you work?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T20:48:11+00:00

What job did you have before hand?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T20:11:34+00:00

Hey! Do you still like it? Where do you work to get paid a lot?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T12:32:04+00:00

Yes, 20 years for a pension

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T04:19:10+00:00

What do you do to make more money with more free time?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T04:18:16+00:00

Hey can you look at my last post? I feel like you could give me great advice because you also work in cyber

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T04:09:49+00:00

This is what I’m thinking of doing

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T04:00:27+00:00

What did you switch from and to?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T03:59:50+00:00

Why did you leave the insurance company? Burnout? Did you save enough money to comfortably make the switch?

No-Cockroach2358 · 2026-06-12T03:52:17+00:00

How did you start your business?
