I know this is an EMT education question but it's military specific so I figured I'd have a better shot getting an answer in this forum..
I'm currently enrolled at Central Texas College at Ft. Hood, TX. CTC is very military friendly and accepts credit from military training towards college degrees. I am currently enrolled in an associates program in Emergency Medical Technology, which includes an EMT-P program (which can be taken separately on its own, it makes up about 50% of this degree). Here's the weird thing. They won't accept any of my 68W MOS training, including my NREMT-B (i am NOT about to do the EMT-B course all over again for no reason), however they DO accept all my MOS training into a completely unrelated degree called an associates in Applied Technology, which I would only need a few more courses to complete.
Here's my dilemma:
Do I change to this completely non-field related degree, finish it much faster and then do the EMT-P program afterwards? Or do I stick with this EMS associates degree? Once I have my EMT-P, will it matter whether my associates is in EMS or not, or will future employers just be looking for me to have the degree as well as the -P cert?
Thank you! I know this is a little long winded, I'm just unsure of what to do.
