Thank you alot for everything you said, I really appreciate what herbie1 said because i think i was looking at my goals the wrong way, i am not in a position in my career to step into management but what i do want is to be noticed as someone depenedable who can solve the little problems that arise. I also hadnt thought about the money aspect, i work for a great company however its obvious that they see dollar signs. i think in effort to show that i really do want to contribute to the growth of the agency i will start jumping in on the smaller stuff that i see needs to be done. i know this is a stupid example but i just got off a 24 and over nite our gate opener some how broke, i took it apart and was able to solder the little wire that broke back together. I think this is the kind of thing that will get noticed more than trying to take over one paticular area of responsibility all at once. I have been around long enough to notice the lazy attitude that seems to creep into some EMS professionals over time, i also have noticed that EMTs and Medics that go further and do well in their carreers do not share that attitude. i think thats my goal is to do well in my career and not gain the reputation of being lazy but rather a hard worker.

Hey guys, I will probably regret asking this later but here it goes.. what can i do to show that i would like more responsibility at my agency? i work for a fairly slow call volume agency and recently i have felt like im just showing up and doing whats required and going home. im fairly young and only have about 2 years of experience but i would love to help my manager with schedules, rig maintance, auditing charts or whatever really. i have offered to help several times however i dont want to sound over zealous and appear like im just sucking up, i honestly want more responsibility than just running calls. i was wondering if you guys had any advice for me on how to either ask for more responsibility or maybe there is something that i can just start helping with that maybe i havent thought of... I hope this makes some sense to someone because i would really appreciate the advice. thanks everyone, be safe out there.
