Hello out there,
I am a Los Angeles County accredited paramedic who has resorted to leaving the field to work as an EMT for a hospital due to compensation and benefits. I had a real passion for what I did and experienced on an ambulance, but I needed to make adjustments to support my wife and young child. I am currently making a higher salary working as a new hire EMT basic in a hospital, compared to what I was making as a two year field paramedic. I want to get back out in the field and work, because I feel like all my training and experience is not being utilized.
If you are a local paramedic, can you let me know what your company is offering salary and benefit wise so I can see if there are any other options out there other than my current job.
Thanks, greatly appreciated
