139: Should People get into First Responder Jobs aka "Hero Jobs"?
Manage episode 444548797 series 3539627
I recently spoke on a panel focused on recruiting and hiring practices for first responder jobs, Public Safety Testing, and civil service groups. In that, a video was brought up where a news outlet was featuring how "influencers" were sharing why young people should NOT pursue so-called "Hero Jobs" which included first responder work and front-line work like nursing and medical field careers.
The arguments were that these jobs were rigid, inflexible with long shifts and difficulty to get time off. They were thus less apt to promote work/life balance and self-care, risking burn out.
In a sense, this may be true.. but at the same time, I analyze this and offer another intriguing anecdote I recently read on how young people are more disengaged, unfulfilled, and potentially more depressed and dejected than ever.
There must be an intersection between these themes.. spoiler alert.. that is what I seek to discuss and propose as a belief in WHY young people should absolutely consider these crucial roles in the community.
