nah, im in paramedicine. it's not that i don't like it, it's that the pay is really ******. right now im making 10 an hour which isn't bad i guess considering i just got into the field but as an emt, im not gonna go much higher than that. maybe like low 20s with experience and luck. as a paramedic, im not gonna see more than around 55k a year, and thats after a couple years experience. it's not about what i make either. i didn't get into this field for the money. i just think it's ****** up that i have all this expertise, im out there putting my life on the line every day, it's a high stress job, i'm opening myself up to law suits on every call i go to just for helping people and i make less than a freight elevator operator. but like i said, i didn't get into this field for the money. so ill do this for a couple years and go into something else. i just gotta decide what. right now im considering either med school or be a firefighter but i wanna stay in ems for at least 5 or 6 years. im probably gonna get licensed as a cpr instructor in a few months and after i get my 2 years experience, ill probably try to be an emt instructor so that will bring some more money in my pocket but i just think we deserve more credit than we get.
