Check amusement parks, hospitals (not just EDs), urgent cares, clinics, race tracks, casinos, security guard agencies... among others. But since you're in CA prayer to your deity of choice is a good plan too.

The EMT-Security Guard is viable, but you'll be required to have a guard card, which is a couple hundred bucks + DOJ Livescan fees. There are so many EMT's in Northern CA that you'd be considered lucky to get a part time IFT job making pocket change.

You might see if you county/area as a regional parks district. Sign up as a volunteer, then explore avenues to volunteer at a first aid station. Also check a company called First on Scene EMS. They do event EMS stuff in the Sacramento area.

I've come to the conclusion that unless you have zero bills and live in your car OR still live with mom and dad - being an IFT EMT isn't possible, financially. I mean, I guess you could do it if you lived on top ramen and drank water from the park sprinklers, but that wouldn't be fun or even cool in a James Dean way.

Thank you looks like i will be living off ramen for a while! :wacko:

Since you are in Southern California, you may try Symons. They do special events and run IFT stuff in Riverside County. I think they are based in San Bernardino.

FBlue is totally right, apply for everything you are interested in, and take the first job you get. And then......get experience and keep applying! Ramen isn't so bad, and IFT in CA pays better than 911 in many areas. Keep crackin, this is the tough part.
