Very easy... finish paramedic school. EMS is the perfect antidote for a lifetime of sedentary computer programming. Plus, you get to work with people - or at least you'd better learn how to work with people.
I am a full time developer and part time paramedic. I generally pick up one shift a week (usually a weekend day, but also the occasional weeknight). I'm sure there are agencies in your area that would hire a part-time/per diem medic.
I am with you there. In fact, I'd say flight medic. Have been volunteering in EMS for going on 10 years now, and find that I particularly enjoy both the flight and very critical care aspects of helicopter EMS.
