So don’t take a worthless job. If money isn’t an issue, lean in hard on an internship of your own creation. My town has a largely volunteer fire department- they NEVER have enough people to do analysis- how many calls per month over the last year, how did that differ from pre-covid times, what is the optimal staffing level, are they purchasing equipment in the most efficient way possible, how have their expenses gone up in the last five years and why- what are they spending the money on and could it be better deployed. To your dad- you’re developing a resource optimization model for first responders. This stuff is not hard- but it takes someone with an analytical mind and TIME which volunteer organizations do not have!!!
