EMT certified, what to do over the summer

[a13b13]

Hey everyone!
I'm looking for a job over the summer where I can utilize my certification. It seems unlikely that I would be hired as an EMT for an ambulance service for just the summer months. Any suggestions of other ways to apply it?

If you have any seasonal activities that you love and are great at (ie. mountain biking, kayaking, rafting, etc.), those companies sometimes need EMTs to work for the summer. Maybe an amusement park would need the same.

Also, if your state has any big concerts, festivals, etc., they will often use EMTs and paramedics from anywhere in the state to fill their medical staff.

Those are really the only options I can think of, unless you just choose not to tell a company you will be working there for only a few months. Actually, one BLS company offered me a job, and when I told him I would be leaving in a few months, he said he didn't care and the offer still stands.

Good luck...sorry I couldn't think of more options.
