The most financially move for you is to attend mt. sac's paramedic program. You can always apply for the board of governors fee waiver, which gives exempt, based on income, and qualifies you for free tuition, which essentially the paramedic program itself. I think the program for me came out to be about 2-3 grand after everything (including gas, national registry, books, etc) It really is a great program to be in, everybody that has told you to stay far away from the program or that the fail rate is so and so are the people that probably failed out and is just spreading the rumors. Most people that did fail out were never really prepared to begin with, and that was the problem. Going to paramedic school shouldn't just be another reason to get a P card, but ultimately to fully understand what you're doing as a paramedic and understanding to the full extent of it. There should be no 'easier' paramedic schools, every paramedic school should just be as hard as the other because of how much work you're putting in. But like I said again, financially wise, mt. sac is the best bet for you, because after 4 months of didactic, you can technically work when clinicals/internship starts as they aren't full time.
