Thx. thx for the responses so far...

:(. I'd need to work more hours at $10/hr. I could do $12/hr at 48 and be good though.

:( I could do $12/hr but $10/hr would be tough. I'd have to pick up a part-time job once in a while or so...

Can I make $30k a yr as an EMT-b in Central FL? I'll be in school part-time, so I cn work full-time. Is $30k too much to expect, or would I be killing myself with waaay too many hours? Can I make $25k?

Good stuff, thanks.

really? I was hoping for 11-12/hr.

It's hard to find the pay for EMT's... I know it's not a lot, but if anyone knows a range they can give me, I'd appreciate it. All job posting I've seen, no pay in the description. Thanks.

I know, I know... this has been talked about a lot. But it's still very confusing due to the fact that I keep reading different things... I've been reading over and over on the internet about reciprocity. Trying to move back to FL next year (hopefully) and will have out-of-state medic cert...

Thanks my man. I appreciate the insight. The reason I was thinking about taking fire school here is that so I'd be familiar with it once I had to take it in FL, and being more confident while doing it. So what brought you to FL and what are you doing currently? If you don't mind me...

You had to re-do your fire certs? That stinks man! What state did you move from? Is it possible to just have to retake fire 1 and not fire 2, if my fire 1 hrs match up with FL's fire 1? Where did you go to get certified in FL? Did you find the fire academy in FL easier since you'd been...

New to the forum... Going to school for EMT and then would like to go on to medic, and eventually get a position as fire-medic. I dont live in FL right now, but hope to come back. I know, I know...competition is tough, nobody is hiring, etc. Same as where I'm at now. Anyone had any...
