Okay, here's the deal.....I'm not one to share my secrets with everyone, but I have hit a wall in my life/career/marriage. I'm looking for a little experience. I'm 32, served my country and got out about 6 years ago. Held down a couple of odd jobs, and then in 2009 I was let go after 5 months of being with them and after the company headhunted me out from another company.
It hit my family pretty hard......so I thought about what I wanted to do as I did a job in the navy that I can not do in the civilian world. I decided to get my paramedic license. So fast forward about 2 1/2 years, I got my license just before Thanksgiving. My wife has been fairly supportive of me. (just doing school and not working to get it done) We are fourtunate enough to have her job in this economy that can sustain our household and 2 children.
As of late, my patience has worn to its breaking point with life/children/wife. I have been a stay at home dad for 2 1/2 years raising 2 beautiful girls, 3 and 1 years old but I can no longer keep my sanity when I'm home with them. My marriage is going down hill with the situationas as it sits right now, and my wife is feed up with me not having a job.
It has been just over a month and I have been declined from 4 jobs, and I have applied about 10 different paramedic position in a 60 mile radius. I have covered all my local ambulance companies and even jobs at the hospital that would take a paramedic. My wife expects me to have a job yesterday and is very frustrated with everything as well.
She is not willing to move to a different state for my employment, nor even relocate to a different area of the state. I have not yet applied for an out of state position, but this is a last resort.
Is she being a little unreasonable? Should I look for a job out of state, or hold out for a little while longer for a medic job in the area?
I know I am about to get blasted and I have my flamesuit already on....so let's begin.
