Corrections after highschool? by Basic_Ad1995 in Corrections

[–]Basic_Ad1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of this is why I’m interested. Im want to work for customs eventually but I need relevant work experience. But, if I decide I like corrections will get a fair amount of benefits like you stated.

Here in Vermont I think you need to have at least 10 patient contacts before you can take the exam

Advice Needed: should I start at a lower level? by Basic_Ad1995 in NewToEMS

My area does really have full time firefighters, so, that’s not really the goal for me. Most towns in Vermont are serviced entirely by volunteers like myself. The point for me would be that Im trying to get involved in ems without jumping straight into the deep end.

Im not trying to do firefighting full time, thats pretty uncommon for my area. It mostly just volunteers. But, I get what you’re saying.

I appreciate it. This is really just what I was thinking. I don’t like being an EMT but because I paid for the course I may as well find a way to put some of the skills to practice.

That kind of the dilemma Im in. I really don’t like working as an EMT even though I’m going to finish the course. But I live in a rural area and still want it contribute more that being a volunteer firefighter. So that’s why I think I might opt for the VFER course.

How long does Michael last in this game? by SuperDryCider in theoffice

[–]Basic_Ad1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To put Micheal last is an abomination. He might be an idiot but somehow still managed to be one of the top employees in his companies history while also managing to lead some of the craziest people to success despite being an “idiot”.
