    I wok for the Army, (Civilian), and we have to do the "I will work '3 x' any training the Army pays for. I did a 7.5 hour class they paid for and had to sign a form that I would work 22.5 hours afterwards before i took my ABLS cert and quit.

    Grad Degrees

    Some times I wish I had gotten a degree; I have no idea what I would have taken; and for the most part it doesn't seem to help other paramedics who have gotten one be a better medic. Sure doesn't help them write better run reports. A couple of friends are going to nursing school, and other...
