    I just retired after 31 years as a Firefighter. I'm 53 and in good health other than medication for Gout and High Blood pressure.

    Currently working part time as a Paramedic but would like to change that.

    I live in SW Illinois and have a second home in SW Florida.

    Are there job opportunities for someone that wants part time or seasonal work?

    I am not sure what you are looking at or calling part time, but there are a lot of drivers that come up to Alaska for the dirt season and return home in the fall.
    It is full time but just for the season, generally a lot of hours if a guy gets on the right job.

    Do you want to drive while you're in Florida or Illinois?
    Which town are you in, in Florida; Naples or further south?

    There’s a little bit more south on the west side but not much
    Maybe he is thinking of Marco island?

    I think Schneider has a program where you can drive as few as 10 days a month.

    Illinois but would be open to driving in Florida.

    I have a place on Sanibel island. I can see Naples, Ft Meyer Beach, and Marco Island from our beach.

    I live near Springfield Illinois but used to work in the St Louis Metro. Right now I have the Illinois Class B license required for driving Fire Trucks.
