Stephen Condon, at 61, transitioned from a successful 40-year career in tech marketing to working as an EMT, seeking personal fulfillment and community impact. Earning over $200,000 in marketing, he struggled with dissatisfaction and isolation from remote work. After leaving his last marketing position, he researched various career options, ultimately pivoting to emergency medical services without further academic investment. Condon plans to continue as an EMT until retiring in four years, valuing the excitement and health benefits his new role offers.
After working in tech marketing for about 40 years, I sought something more personally rewarding, leading me to a career as an EMT.
I had to get out in the community and do something rewarding; the marketing jobs paid well but lacked personal satisfaction.
Transitioning to EMT came after 15 years of feeling isolated in short-term, remote marketing jobs; it felt like a low-risk career pivot.
At 61 years old, experiencing enough dissatisfaction in my career led me to pursue emergency medical services instead of staying in tech marketing.
