Pre-covid I was a fire-fighter paramedic with a 24 hours on /48 hours off schedule making almost $60K. On the 2 days off and a few hours here and there on shift I worked as a remote programmer for a company which got me between $20 - $30K extra a year. I did that for 2 1/2 years.

In June of this year I left the fire department for a full time remote programming job. I could have kept the part time job but decided to finally just work a single job.

I'll share this with my son who wants to pursue an EMT career while I've insisted to become a programmer like me. :eyeroll: LOL
