Anything to do with firefighting, emergency medical services, or police work is out because that was a condition of my disability retirement. I might be able to get away with teaching, I'd have to check with the pension fund to be sure, but I'd have to retake all of my training. I let my Firefighter II (240 hour professional level) EMT-Paramedic and Hazardous Materials Technician certifications expire in December because I'm not allowed to use them any more. Fire Instructor is a separate certification, but I'd have to recertify my FF II before I could take it and I'm not sure I'd be allowed to. I do like the idea of using my experience to help get new kids ready for the world of firefighting.
I'm a little old to start nursing school, but if I can get someone to pay for it it might be worthwhile. Something to look into.
