Those of you who left EMS, what are you doing now, and are you happy about your choices?

I left full time paramedicine after 12 years. I've been in software development for a little over a year now, and I still do some part time for shits and giggles. I don't regret my choice, especially seeing how hard the full time folks at my company get ran. It's fun to do this job again now that I'm not dependent on it for finances. I will say, though, programmer stories make a much smaller impact with friends and family.

DevOps Engineer here ๐Ÿ˜‰, former paramedic. I don't moonlight except the occasional coaxing a drunk person sleeping in a doorway to let me help him get home before someone calls him in.
