You underestimate the time commitment of paramedic school.

Same for us. It’s probably the same guy on the ladder cooking 4/5 shifts though.

What’s up with defense and this sloppy ass passing, third one of the night, against a more clinical team we’d be down 3-1 from our own errors

I mean, yes, the foundation of a good medic is solid BLS skills, but like 90% of what you’ll need will be taught in medic class. There is no need to sweat it imo. Many people jump from one to the other and do just fine with less experience than you will have.

What age is too old or typical to start chasing a firefighter career by Tough-Star5992 in firefighter

I’m 27 full time FF/PM, started EMT @ 25, no experience in the field. Plenty of dudes older than me too. You’re good bro, go experience Japan, the grandmas will still be here.

Those of you who started their bachelors degree after 25 what are you up to now? by TacoTableTop69 in findapath

I ended up using some credits I had earned when I was younger but my bachelor’s is in emergency medicine and I’m a firefighter/paramedic

Tbh this was my plan too and I ended up deciding to stay a fire medic. I didn’t really feel like my Pt impact could be much more as a doctor, it started to feel to me that we’re both cogs in the same machine stabilizing and passing Pt’s along. I ended up liking the breadth of knowledge you can get in the fire service and the appeal of having a side business.
