This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 175 sitting here with Echo Charles about to review some of your questions

about leadership in life and give you some courses of actions, perhaps some guidance, perhaps some advice to follow.

And that's what we've got.

Let's get into it.

I'm 24.

I've been on the past since 2018 and I always wanted to become a pararesciman.

After having a year and a half medical dispute of a few minor injuries with the Air Force.

And starting a family at the end of it left me with no mission after 10 years of thorough planning of a job career in the U.S. military.

I followed your advice and became a volunteer fireman in 2022.

It has become my passion. I work out three times a week and wash the trucks after my workouts to show my commitment.

In the past year, I've been trying out for career departments, since this

is an industry I love, one particularly with steady benefits in near my home, with a slight

risk of termination, if not obtaining a paramedic license after three years. However, I currently work with or work in a lime plant with steady

benefits, good coworkers, the fully paid for bachelor's degree, a high chance of obtaining

management in five years, and job security. My question is, do I leave a steady job that

rarely gives me joy for a career that I enjoy part time where or there's uncertainty if I will love it full-time.

24 on, 48 off.

they'll do yeah they do 24 on then like two days off then 24 on then four days off it's a weird

schedule um and you got to figure out if you know
