Personally not sure but people on here seem to talk pretty highly about there pay.

Awesome sounds great, is Acadian pretty much the main ambulance down there ? I've been told of one other but that about all I know in that region.

Very true, good point. Side note, what is everyones opinion on San Antonio ? Im looking at it as a big population, possibly great for lots of diverse calls, lots of experience etc. Ive heard horror stories though for people that don't speak spanish down there. I definitely want to learn, Ive...

Well I sure hope so :) Any suggestions on when I should apply ? Seeing that I can only afford a ticket 4 weeks out, I've heard it might be detrimental to apply now because supposedly employers/ hiring managers get back to most people applying to private companies within 3-5 days in TX. Someone...

Wow thats incredible thanks for the info. I've got my flight booked for April 16 to head out to Texas and do some interviews. Hopefully someone pick me up :)

Awesome, thanks everyone for your help. I really appreciate it :)

hey Linuss I sent you PM last night did you ever get a chance to read it ?

Awesome thanks for the advice, this company I talked to today made it sound like it was the fairly average rate.

In case anyone is wondering Im actually from San Jose, CA. Moved to redding to go to medic school.

Thanks fish for the info and that site, I have never seen a site like that.

awesome well thanx for the heads up, I didn't know about the income tax and like you guys say TX is so big its hard to say specifically what the hourly wage is throughout. Maybe some people will share what they have over heard or know of in terms of area and hourly wages. I definitely don't...
