I have B.A. in economics from NYU in 2000. I have always put that foward. As I said any mention of B.S. is a typo. For the last year and a half I have been a student in paramedic program. Not all students are between 18 and 22. I realize you may find that confusing or conflicting but students are not always so young. Older people can be students also.
I really don't care if you take me seriously or not. I am not asking for your approval. Its no offense to me either way. In all honesty, I have not been your biggest fan. I find your posts to be elitist. But that is through an EMS forum.
I have no interest in B.S. or B.A. in EMS. It is not offered in my area making it a non-starter. There are various programs in my area that I am interested in studying. Whether you like my reasons or not again are irrelvant. I am not asking for your approval.
Personally, I don't believe your are a Paramedic or ever have been one, rather a burned out EMT that never completed Paramedic school. In regards to older students.. most of my students are >35 years old and many of those are in the college program have previous degrees.
Even now, you are even confusing describing you believe or do not believe that Homeland Security is shutting down EMS. ??? No one else I have seen or discussed has even heard such a rumor, neither does many of those that publish in JEMS .
If you want to go be a RRT so be it. I don't believe it will resolve the problems you described nor going into any health care profession. Alike so many others that enter this and other medical professions what their personal expectations are and what the real life is totally different and never will be what they want it to be.
You described you wanted to be a P.A., I don't understand why not attend another two years instead of four years and again starting in another profession? From one that did attend a P.A. program, I realize that the role of the P.A. is basically anything, case or dirty procedure that the physician does not want to do.
Again, best of luck.
