So, this has been on my mind for a bit. Something that's been annoying me. I know it shouldn't but, ya know, it does.
Is there anyone out there that EMS is their actual career path? Not just in it to pass some time until their real life starts.
I've been working with a seemingly endless stream of people who are only there before they move on. Some things I've heard are:
"I hate this medical c**p. I'm only hear so I can get higher on the police panel"
"EMS as a career? No I'm just here until the fire department is recruiting, them I'm out."
"Go onto medic school? Why would I do that? I'm just doing this until I get into nursing"
"This job? No, I'm only here cause I lost my job in (random field) and I'm waiting for something better"
How is it that my career is so many other people's time killer. I started into the world of EMS as a vol in 1996, and went pro in 2003, and only took that long because I had convinced myself I was happy being an engineer. I love what I do. I'm even proud of what I do.
It's just so disheartening to see so many people in this job who don't actually want to be here. No other career I know of has this problem.
