Hey guys obviously new here, but was hoping for some opinions.
I appreciate all the feedback, but please try not to just say "ohh you're never too old for anything" lol. I'm 35 years old and work a good job in an office. It is boring and I never enjoyed it...nothing real happens. For quite some time I have thought about becoming an EMT, and eventually paramedic. I've always had the thought most start around 18 to 20.
I realize I'd be taking a paycut if I did this, but is it realistic at my age too get hired even. I mean resume wise i'd have like 4 years experience as an EMT by 40, where as most people would have close to 20 years probably. Is it realistic to even compete with jobs starting so late in this type of career change?
thanks for any feedback
