Im just going with the degree, i change my mind so much i dont know if i will do it for a lifetime or not, but i think a degree would be worth more school and all, did you get a degree or cert?
I'd do it I learned so much and that helped me alot in class also and the people on your department offer alot of insight and are willing to work with you if you are having and trouble with anything
Are you being voted on as an attendent? If so you will mainly just assist the emt. I joined a volunteer dept. as a cadet and thats all i did until i was an emt.
Thats also another reason i was leaning more towards degree, i think i may take the EMT-PM which is a management major im indecisive between the science major or the management major.
That's what im thinking Im not sure if i want to work closer to a big city or more towards the rural side of things i didn't know if where i wanted to work would affect what i should do or not.
I was actually surprised at the curriculum of the degree really there aren't alot of general education classes mainly english no math or science, and it is considered a science major haha
I would get on a volunteer department if you could, i was able to join as an attendent/cadet before i had my emt-b and turned 18, and i could asssit the emt, it offered alot of experience and knowledge before i went through class.
Im trying to find the pro and cons of getting a paramedic degree or certificate, the schooing ; for a certificate is about half of what a degree would take and i dont want everything crammed into a short amount of time, and i want the best schooling. Im also wondering what the chances for hiring...
