I don't know if all programs are similar to Georgia but here you can get a certificate in Paramedic Technology OR an Associates degree in Paramedic technology. I only know of 2 schools which do the AA degree locally BUT that is all I know.
I would love to know the difference in pay, and all of those other "perks" that come with a degree vs. certificate.
PS, I'm hoping to do the AA program, beginning in just over 1 year from my completion of EMT-I... giving me over 2 years in the field before taking NREMT-P. Having a BS in Geography, all of the core stuff for the AA should transfer easily which would make it no harder to get an AA vs. a certificate in my situation. The only negative, I will have to drive about 15 miles FURTHER (about 40 miles each way compared to the 25-30 with the school I'm currently in) with a little more traffic. I'm curious to know about your experiences. (I'm fairly effin nosy if you havent figured that out yet )
