Funny enough, I'm actually a junior in the college that provides that academy for the EMS program. My major is in Chemistry but I might switch it up to Biology. But yeah, I heard that getting a degree goes a long way.

I hope this doesn't come off as something dumb to ask, but I'm over the years after high school I'm still considering going into training to start my road down being a EMT and in the future a Paramedic. However, with few options to start a EMT class near me unless I move, which isn't really an...

True. It's either that or My other option I've decided is majoring in Psychology.

Yeah, I don't wanna pay another college for an EMT class but I also like the idea of becoming an EMT. Jesus Christ, I hope that doesn't sound so cringe when I say that, since people usually feel that's a sign of "glory hound" or "I wanna save everyone itis" lmao. I mean, I can see the reasoning...

Oh, no. I'm not thinking about med school anymore. I kinda had a wake up call and really had to think about it if was the right choice for me. I really isn't, so I've dropped med school as any of my goals in life.

Yeah, I've been thinking about doing that. At least getting my next semester in Jan done with so I can get more credits and then see about maybe trying it out. I really just still thinking about it since my mind has really been swimming at the moment. I just really don't know but what you've...

Yeah, that's why I'm pretty hesitant to tie myself to GoldCross Augusta even though my dad talked to the Captain, I think. So yeah, I'm on the edge about that. As for the Augusta Tech site, I've looked at it but I'll need to read it more thoroughly.

In about two more years and a half. Maybe even three. I'm only one semester after this one to getting an Associate in Arts if I so wished to just because. People say something is better than nothing until you get your BS. And become an astronaut for NASA. I joke sorta. I'm not sure. I've thought...

That's actually about the amount of pay I get at my current job.

I know but I have a friend who was a Paramedic and still has their cert license who said that I should think before I do it. Which I agree. I never expected this to be easy and I...I don't know. I really wanna do this for some reason. At least I know it's not because of "glory" or "trauma junkie...

Well, it's in Augusta, Georgia so I'd have to look it up. And I can't afford right now to live out from the house at least until I get my degree so I guess that helps a bit with expenses. Still paying for tuition myself though so thank god I can save up money to not take out a loan yet with the...

Yeah, summer classes work best for me. I'm just worried how I'll fit in college with a full time EMT job, but I shouldn't underestimate myself I guess. And it's funny with the major I'm getting cause my average math scores were mostly middle B's and sometimes high C's.

Thanks for the reply. I work part time and make usually around 300 or a little under every two weeks. I'm not sure what their rates would be at the GoldCross service since they would require full time. As for working as an EMT/Paramedic at the office? I'm not sure but I think they might. The...

Okay, so I live close enough to a company called GoldCross Augusta and they offer EMT-B, AEMT, and Paramedic training classes. This would be better honestly for now than going to another college since I'm already in a college majoring for a BS in Physics. The classes are also almost at the start...

The link for Georgia is off. Not sure if it's already been posted but here is the one for Georgia. https://dph.georgia.gov/sites/dph.georgia.gov/files/Scope_of_Practice_7-2014_0.pdf

I'll have to work on getting a calendar schedule. I'm still trying to get into the habit of using calendars. And I'll take a look at all the suggested mags and podcast. Thank you!

Thank you, that really helps. I'm just so nervous of making sure I don't miss anything or going a little too late over some online deadline for a certain section I might have problem with. However I think I might just be fine now that you've given me a better scope and idea of what to do and how...

The program I signed up is some "Online Hybrid" EMT-B course. Of course, I probably shouldn't get too ahead of myself. I merely registered and as of now, they still need more people to sign up on the roster to have an actual class. It's weird really. The AEMT and Paramedic courses are all...

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to come across that I'm confused about what I signed up for. I guess I really was asking for advice because I've been told online is somewhat different from having purely classroom lessons.

I guess I need some advice, since I'm not sure how many other people do their EMT-B classes through an online hybrid type thing. Anyways, I registered for an EMT-B course. Thing about it that is that it isn't really "classroom" setting and is more by computer. From what I've been told, 75% will...
