Hey guys, so right now I have taken a detour in my pre-medical studies, and I have been going to school for something else. I recently got accepted into Paramedic school and the reason I chose to go that route was to gain more advance life support skills for either an ambulance job or a tech job at hospital. After I did some 24 hour ambulance shifts I realized an ambulance job might not be what I'm looking for, it's not because I don't like the work of an EMT. There was times I wished we would get a break and after some stress build up, I knew this was not a good job to have during college, plus the shifts are always rotating. I recently found out that just with an EMT-B certification (I know, I'm late on that one lol) you could land a tech job at a hospital and they will train you on the extra skills that you need to learn for the job. After reading some past threads on here, it looks like a tech job is the way to go for a pre-med.
I basically want a job that makes enough money to pay for rent, bills, and food during college. So I ask you guys, did you guys make enough money to pay for your life expenses? If I just go up to the AEMT level (first 2 semesters of paramedic school) will I get pay more by the hour as a tech?
Thanks.
