Thank you for the reply.

In terms of education/ career, what's the next step? ( in so Cal) Let's say FF/PM is not viable anymore, I'm contemplating furthering my education but I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't want to be a RN ( much respect to them though) and I don't want to be stuck in a box all day either...

That is sickly depressing to my ears. I live in Costa mesa trying to of course get that FD job. The wife and I live here and her job is in OC. Commuting to SB would be...grueling..fawk. I really enjoyed my internship in the Inland Empire but that commute was insane.

so..they're just EMT-B then.. What's the pay like? I know EMT-B make 10.50 the hour, how about a "medic"?

lol...been wondering about that. I've never used a mask but now I'm glad to know they don't help with the smell. Maybe if you put some vicks in it..hey that reminds me of some good old parties.

ER Tech?

Thanks, appreciate it.

Hello everyone. I am currently "shopping" for a medic school and have decided to go to NCTI Riverside. There is a requirement for an A&P class and they offer an accelerated one for $500 before the medic program starts. I live in orange county and I am trying to be efficient with my time. I...

Parting with friends from high school...that's life.

What's up man, I found some of your post about going to Medic school and wanted to know how you're doing as I am on the same boat. I'm new to this forum and I couldn't find how to send a private message , hopefully this will do. Are you still planning on going to NCTI? I'm debating between...

There are a few things different from LA and OC protocols. Nothing scary don't worry.
