I have heard from many people that a paramedic career has a high burnout rate. Is this true? Why?
I understand that after a certain age, I will most likely be unable to do the physical duties required but is there something else? Is it just THAT stressful?
I'm only 19 right now, so being awake and working long shifts don't faze me at the moment. I'm sure that'll change if/when I get a family to support. Are you away from them for that long?
Would you say that this is really a career? Sorry for the amount of questions, any help is highly appreciated. Cheers!
