I am graduating high school in a year, I am a junior, with not so hot grades. I am taking my ACT soon. I do really well on tests and I consider myself above average intelligence wise, unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to turn my grades around in time. ANYWAYS, I really want to get into the EMS field. I don't know what to do for college. I want to get a 4 year degree in something, and I know a local community college that has an EMT-Paramedic program. I also have a friend in the Army National Guard who is trying to convince me to join and become a 68-W. I want to go to a 4 year college and at least have a backup or something if EMT doesn't work out or something that relates to the EMS field. Pre-med?. It is really something I want to do though. Currently, I am a lifeguard and I deal with emergency situations (nothing compared to the work in the EMS field) but it is something I really enjoy (weird?). I just want some guidance from someone with experience as what to do. THANKS!
