I just received my offer letter to be a full time FF working 24/48. I’m a husband and father of a 3 month old and we plan on having at least two more kids. I currently have a great career. I work 5 8s and get every holiday paid and off, including my birthday. I’d be taking a little over a 50% pay cut to be a FF. I’m doing this because I have a strong desire to help people and believe this is the best way I can do so. My wife stays at home full time currently with our baby. We are in the process of selling our house and moving into an RV on a couple acres of land my wife inherited so that we will be completely debt free Once the market crashes and we have enough to build our dream house on the land we will do that, but in the meantime will be debt free so the pay cut shouldn’t be an issue. My concern would be with the 24/48 schedule. It seems great but I understand that I may end up spending both days off recovering from sleep deprivation so my concern is will this schedule be difficult for my family life? While I really want to help people I don’t want to sacrifice time at the expense of my family. They come first. As men and women who live this lifestyle with a family can you tell me your thoughts and opinions? Thanks for your time.
