For some people, they wonder aimlessly through life never being happy. For others it takes awhile to find a job you love. For me it took quite some time to figure out what I wanted to do when I grew up. Sure I worked as an engineer and the pay was quite good but I was just not really that happy. It was just a job for me, not a passion.After half a century I began a quest, to find my passion. I spent 3 years taking a myriad of classes in college in hopes of finding something that sparked an interest. Well some 70 semester units later I think I managed to find my calling. I took an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) class and now I am in the US forest service wildland fire academy. I have lost 20 pounds, my arm size has increased and I feel great. I love this stuff. Everyone in my academy is dedicated and a great bunch of guys, each guy looks out for the guy next to him, kinda like the military. All I can say is I wish I had done this 30 years ago. Bottom line, find a job you love when you are young. I thought I would share a few pics from my academy. Oh! by the way, the backpacks have 25 pounds of sand in them.
