18 when I got my EMT.

Started working as an EMT right before I turned 19.

Had been going to college classes and working for two years previously, since I graduated from HS a the age of 16, in medicine as a Vet Tech.

Been doing a combination of the two ever since. Some times I play Vet Tech... Some times I play EMT or other Rescue Stuff... Sometimes I do both at the same time... Sometimes I do neither...

Glad to know I'm not the only one.

19 Emt-B

and probably flight medic by 25

 

[Devilz311]

I was 16 when I got my EMT-B cert, 21 when I got the EMT-P

 

[Burlyskink]

Well, right now I am 17 and I am just taking my EMT-B course. IT is cool, but it kind of sucks because I have a few months before I will be able to take the NREMT after I pass the class.

 

[nomofica]

Got my EMR (same as the Basic in the states) at 18. Guessing EMT-A (~EMT-I) at age 21 or 22. Currently 19. Predicting medic at 25 or so.

I want some experience instead of just jumping to Paramedic so work a few years. Start with IFT and then move to 911. Get a degree and become a Paramedic
