Career for someone who thrives in an emergency but gets badly stressed by regular, mundane office life?
Basically the title. I work in commercial property management and stressing over financial reports, managing projects, and keeping up with emails is killing me—it's saving grace would be the occasional crises I get to handle.
I I don't know why, but I stress out over the smallest things in life but I'm at the top of my game in an emergency. Property I manage is on fire? No problem. Get in a car accident? I'm chill with it. Dog getting attacked by mountain lion? Hold my beer; I'm going in. Partner rushed to surgery and maybe dying? I'm cool and collected, able to direct concerned loved ones, all while fielding the doctors.
Even afterwards, there's no problem. No stress reaction. No trauma. I just do super well when it's a Point A to Point B, here's-the-problem-now-solve-it situation.
But tell me budget comments are due? I need to get quotes from contractors? My world is on fire. I'm literally losing whole chunks of memory to the stress.
I'd imagine I'd start feeling the pressure if the emergencies were daily, so no to the EMT field, but is there anything else out there I should look at?
