Hey all, this is my first post after lurking here for quite a while. I'm currently in the middle of my junior year at a university majoring in nutritional sciences. When I graduate I know that I want to pursue a field in EMS with paramedic the goal. I'm currenly doing SAR volunteering in a very active county, so I am getting some EMS experience, we are trained at the OEC level.
I'm not entirely pleased with my degree choice at the moment and am looking for some guidence as to degrees that are helpful in EMS. Nutrition is a very science based major; but I was thinking a physiology degree might better suit my career plans. Any other suggestions? Another option I am considering is getting my EMT this summer then starting to apply for jobs, but getting that BS degree seems somewhat important.
Thanks!
