Hello everyone. I'm new here and just wanted to say hello. I'm currently about to start my EMT basic courses so thought this would be a good time to join a forum like this.
I'm 31 years old and have two college degrees in a field totally unrelated to this field. However, it's something I always wished I would have done, so now I'm taking the leap. I've spent a lot of years being stuck in a field that I did not like and helped no one (other than "the man"!), so I'm excited to be going into a career direction that will actually mean something.
I was curious if there were any EMTs or Paramedics on this forum that got into the field late like myself. If so, what kind of field did you come from, what were your expectations, how do the differ from reality, do you regret it, etc.
I appreciate any and all advice and I look forward to being a part of EMT Life.
Thanks!
