Hey all — USMC Vet that pivoted from Law Enforcement (a decade plus, in my early 20’s), to the Fire Department, shocking, I know 😂. Between the switch, I worked in facilities sales for just shy of a year and a quarter, so a full year of selling experience. I loved most of my time in sales, and was wondering if anyone had any leads or thoughts on part time selling opportunities? Hearing mixed things about solar, but also hearing it can be lucrative even for p/t’ers. Any other leads?

No sales leads so not helpful to your question, sorry.

Interested in your experience in Fire Department Thinking of leaving consulting to be a firefighter. Looking for more purpose in life + better schedule to see kids.
I've already tested and am at the top of my cities list in Massachusetts, if it matters.

Not sure about part time opportunities, but a guy from my high school works for a company called Atlantic Emergency Solutions selling fire trucks to smaller departments in the mid Atlantic states. Seems like it might be worth a look if there’s a similar company near you.
