EMT: Love it. You'll learn basic life support (BLS) and work in high-pressure scenarios. We had a client who worked as an EMT, and on his second day, he arrived at the home of his third-grade teacher, who had taken a bad fall. He kept her calm while his superiors carefully moved her. What he did was not medical, but it prepared her to receive medical attention. Another client performed CPR on a patient, tag teaming with an experienced colleague so neither would become too fatigued and lag in compressions. Their persistence paid off; their patient survived. As an EMT, you'll have opportunities to help people and maybe even save lives. You can learn a lot from your colleagues, too. They've seen it all.
