So I searched through and haven't seen this asked, so bear with me.
I currently work FD and start my medic in the fall. Recently had a close call in a fire and kind of made me realize, no matter how much I prepare for this job, there is a chance something could happen that would not allow me to work in the field anymore. So I've really buckled down on school and it has made me realize, I want to get my BA in chem or bio to keep options open for PA school, or possibly med school if I do get injured in the future.
My plan right now is to have my AA in paramedicine by fall of 2015 when my medic class will be done, then get my BA in fire science, then BA in chem or bio. I am currently looking into what classes I can and can't do online, and was thinking of just taking some time off to pound out those classes I can't take online.
Has anyone here done this sort of thing before? I have always had a knack for school, just never a drive to actually do it, so this is all sort of new to me.
