Ep. 20: A Former Lawyer Working as a Critical Care Paramedic in Retirement (& my dad!)
12/10/20 • 94 min
Meet Jim.
Otherwise known as my dad!
He spent his career in the corporate world as an environmental lawyer and an EHS executive. He climbed the proverbial ladder, worked at the same company for more than 20 years, and retired at 55.
But it doesn’t end there!
Looking for some way to spend his retirement, he enrolled in an EMT course at a local community college. That started him down the path of emergency medicine and now he’s a critical care paramedic. He also wrote a book about his experience working at music festivals, which is... a trip.
In this episode, we look back at his corporate life and discuss how he ended up spending his retirement riding in ambulances.
