What got you interested? If it is the money I don't think the pay difference is going to change the way you live so don't let that be the base of your decision.

I didn't see this posted so thought I would share. http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhR1PPSHtqo8Tk4GH1

To the point of the article and what I have found all too often is medical professionals bringing their personal opinions and bias into their professional advice. People who are vegetarians, "gluten free," supplement users, and the list goes on. Their opinions rarely change after going through...

Another thing to keep in mind is most (not all) of the EMTs down here do not make a career out of EMS unless they get picked up on a fire department. It is largely a stepping stone for many and because of that and the fact that EMTs are essentially a dime a dozen here they get away with paying...

Lol does someone here have an agenda?
