My husband is finishing paramedic school after several years as an EMT. After working full time, going to school, doing clinical on his days off- needless to say he’s burnt out. Where he used to have confidence/ be energized by work, now he’s anxious and questions his decisions (even when they were the right call). He’s still going to finish his schooling and get the certification, but he’s now exploring alternatives that still use his experience. Any ideas for good options? Also has a BS in bio

This is helpful context on the forum (my first time posting in this bowl), but also helpful ideas for other areas he could explore on the admin and insurance side of things. I agree on a the advice given to speak to someone- unfortunately his program is almost entirely online (it’s the only option that allowed him to keep working full time) and they don’t have the same resources as a normal program would. We are also exploring the therapy option though- appreciate the advice and perspective!
