Hi all,
I scanned the other threads for a while to make sure I was not duplicating a previous post. If this quesiton has already been brought up please let me know.
I want to be a paramedic. I have worked for 3 years as an EMT, and did a parmedic course internationally. I also worked at an advanced level internationally for a year, running ALS calls. However, it is not accepted here in the USA. I would like to work here as a medic, but I wonder if it is worth it...I mean, are there jobs out there? I dont want to go to Paramedic school just for fun then not be employed afterward. Plus I hear horror stories about studens no being able to get internships. When I search for jobs they seem to be few and far between, but that may not be reality. Any thoughts? What is the job oulook where you all live and work? Any better ideas for me? Thanks!
