Woah...Thanks for all the replies!
Just to clarify a bit, I am currently a college freshman at the University of Michigan (ann arbor). I am hoping to pursue a medical career and am doing a pre-med type major currently. I really like the prospect of being involved at such and early time, and hoping I could find a nice niche to work in over the next couple years, that also teaches me more about medicine.
As for now, I am just looking to get an EMT-B, and get a job doing whatever for the ambulance companies. Perhaps later I could extend that training, but I am also hoping to go to medical school, so it is unlikely that I will get a paramedic degree.
But yeah, so this summer I just want to try out the EMT-B program, get certified (hopefully) and try to get a job for next year at school.
Hope this clarifies a bit...I saw a lot of mixed responses.
Once again, thx very much,
-Sean
