Hey Guys, Thanks for all the help. I wish you had better news for me, but such is life, I guess. Has anyone here actually worked for one of the above companies? If so, what did you think? Did it make you want to go running in the opposite direction or was it an ok job? (and by ok I mean you...

In response to the above post: I'm looking to work full-time... not part-time. I've already graduated from college, but I'm starting my Master's this fall and need to pay for a roof over my head. Also, some cities (definitely not Chicago) DO hire EMT-Bs, so I just thought I would inquire...

So here's the deal... I'm currently working in Chicago for one of the privates making close to zero dollars lol. I know I didn't get into ems for the money, but making minimum wage is pretty pathetic. Anyways, I'm moving to Philadelphia in the fall (I'm completing my Master's at Drexel) and...

I'm also from the Detroit area and just starting up my EMT-B classes (they started last week). Good to see a fellow Detroiter. Good luck with your classes.
