Are there any gay paramedics out there?

Happy, I think is the term. Like not overworked or underpaid?

Gay and happy paramedic here. I don't make a crazy amount of money, but between my full-time medic job and part-time teaching, I am very happy. I get a little burned out and over-worked at times, but I have a good work-life balance. After 12 years I love the job more than ever and I don't live paycheck to paycheck. I realize my experience is not always the norm. Moving to a smaller, slower department definitely made a huge improvement.
