Jocko Underground: Is Your Job Security Joyless? | What Changes after Marriage?

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'm 24. I've been on the path since 2018 and always wanted to become a pararescuan.

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 ten years of thorough planning of a job career in the US military. I followed your advice and became a volunteer fireman in 2022. It has become my passion. I work out three da 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 and 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, a 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 there is uncertainty? if I will love it full time. 24 on, 48 off.
