I seem to be pretty much alone (at work) in my thoughts on becoming a Paramedic as far as the progression of learning goes. My history so far, a year and a half doing some BLS and mostly ALS transfers, and just over 6 months running 911 in a rural setting. My intent is to run 911 in a Metro setting for a couple years before moving on to Paramedic. I am pretty consistantly told not to wait. This is me personally believing that I would be a much better Paramedic having "paid my dues" as a well rounded EMT. It seems that EMT's are dime a dozen, but GOOD EMT's (more than just a "helper") are a little harder to find. I do work with some really good Medics that spent minimal time as EMT's, but most seem just average unless they put in some time as EMT"s.
Am I thinking too much on this or what
