I have been on the job as a 911 dispatcher for 4 months now. I take my call taking release test tomorrow and then move on to radio training in a few weeks. Do you have any advice for newbies in the field? I have noticed the stress starting to come home with me and sometimes I get anxious about going back to work. Any tips for how to handle the stress/anxiety?

Thanks!

Yeah and this is on top of regular school demands

Exactly. Why are we getting downvoted lol. I am a professional classical musician

Come to Atlanta!!! Cost of living is soooo much cheaper in the south. I recently did something similar to you - quit my day job to run a music studio - and I have NO regrets even though it's still in the struggle phase.
