Hello all!
I am in need of some professional advice about a career path. To start off with i am a senior in high school about to be graduating in 22 days. I have always had an interest in medicine. During my high school career I've taken Health Sciences 1 & 2, Advanced Placement Anatomy and Physiology, AP Psychology, and AP Botany with an emphasis on medicinal herbs. I've taken all these courses as an attempt to help me further my education in medicine after high school. While researching possible medical careers I came across Paramedic, and it seems like a really great job that i would enjoy doing and be good at as well. However from what i have read thus far it seems like the only way I can even pursue a career as a Paramedic is if I also became a Firefighter which i have 0% interest in becoming.
So my question to the fine people of EMTLife is should i still consider the Paramedic route and just suck it up and also become a firefighter as well, or just get into some other field of medicine? If you could suggest other alternatives to look into that would be great!
Thanks
