So I'm at another crossroad and I've been told so many different things, I have no clue what to do.
My goal is Firefighter Medic. However, I'm not sure if I should go to fire school first, then medic, or attempt medic, then fire.
Here in Florida I hear that they have such a shortage of medics, you might not even need your fire; the medic training itself is your golden ticket.
Others say no, get your fire certification, and then attempt to get a Fire EMT position; but then I hear that fire departments get hundreds of applications for EMT Firefighter every month.
Where should I go from here? Medic of Fire? What are your opinions?
Thanks guys
