So 2 year degree is good idea, what's your level of edu?

[BEorP]

This was brought up by CBEMT in the other thread, but it really interests me and I think it deserves a thread of its own. The majority of people who have voted support a mandatory two year degree. My question to the people who support it is: what is your level of education and in what subject area?

I am interested to see if the people who support a minimum two years of school are generally only those who are already educated.

I support it... and I'm currently 2 quarters away from my bachelor's in biology. Then headed for paramedic school, which I know my bio background will significantly help with. I know I understand big picture a lot better and can operate on my intuition a lot better as a basic because I've got that extra knowledge kicking around my skull contributing to my assessment of things even if it's a subconscious process.

i support a 2 year degree I've got a BA in Admin of Justice, EMT-P, have had instructor ratings in many disciplines, and I now have a master's degree in project management.

Does the 2 year degree have to be in "emergency medical services" or Paramedic sciences? I have a BS in Health Policy Management, and am working on a Paramedic certificate. But I do support higher education standards. The caliber of some fellow students in my course is a bit scary. Perhaps strong entry requirements or prerequisites in the sciences.

Nope, I'm just curious about education in general.
