Everyone, including the instructors, I speak with have different views on this. I have a month to pick which route I go. There is the EMT-B course in continuing ed at tech school and then of course the other cont. ed courses for EMT-I to get to Paramedic. Or I can get in the Paramedic Associates Degree program and eventually to a Bachelor's Degree. The pay grade is of course different for the final outcome in degrees vs. certification but for hiring purposes, how do counties / private offices hire?
I am leaning toward a degree but would then be commiting to a consistent school schedule for the next two years. Is it better to go ahead with an EMT-B certification and work within the system? Hiring for Greenville County for EMT-I is contingent that you are in school to be a Paramedic. I do not know if they have any grants within the system to help.
I would love to hear all thoughts!
