Here is my where my trouble started.... I have learn from that. Now moved on.
Eff em if they can't take a joke. If you don't have a degree, you're an inferior product, no matter where you went to school, or what your relevant work history is. I'm getting one now, as my medic cert is worth 37 credits. The pharm course taught me a little, but nothing I've taken thus far has added on to what I've learned and experienced to this point.
An EMS AAS should be encouraged if not mandated, but I haven't appreciated being prejudged for not having one.
