    Am I an idiot for becoming an EMT with a college degree?

    And you get paid how much more than your EMS peers with no college?

    Why doesn't this apply to EMTs and Paramedics in the private sector?

    Because the state isn't on the hook when private EMTs and Paramedics go nuts (no disability retirement in the private sector).

    Old people are still like that. "Oh you want to be an ambulance driver. dear?"

    How to get rid of squeamishness?

    I just passed my EMT-B course and I noticed that I am visceral and visually repulsed by gore. Just reading the words make me feel it. I do NOT feel light headed or nauseous; just very uncomfortable. How do I get rid of this? Would looking at Internet gore help? I want to rid myself of it before...

    Am I an idiot for becoming an EMT with a college degree?

    Yes but not because you became an EMT but because you got a college degree. You like your job and spent 4 of the best years of your life and lots of money to get something that does squat for you in EMS. The degree might help you if you get into management...but PolySci?

    Are they called "Paramedics" or "Medics"?

    What's the difference and why do I see Paramedics referring to themselves as medics?
