Ask yourself this question, and answer it honestly: Have you ever thought about leaving federal service?

If you have, did it invoke a feeling of anxiety? Are you scared that you will lose "street cred"? Are you too comfortable with what you do now to pursue other things? Are you always trying to get that coveted perm position? Are you apprehensive to apply to anything else because "this is all I know"?

How many opportunities have you passed up due to these reasons?

Well - that's why we have former USFS helitack turned county firefighter, Monica Tanner, on the show today to talk about this very topic!

Monica started off in the USFS as a seasonal firefighter. After a handful of years, she realized that she was ineligible to get that "coveted" permanent position due to the 37 and a 1/2 rule (yes, there is a maximum age rule for getting a permanent position with the feds)... So, with the guidance of her overhead, she had to make the move beyond the feds to find a new career opportunity.

Disclaimer: This is not intended to be adversarial or as a "Hey, you should leave your job" at all... It's merely Monica's experience in taking the leap into an other career path...

So, for anyone considering leaving - I hope this helps your decision!

Y'all know the drill...

Stay safe, stay savage...

Enjoy!
