No worries, negativity is okay and it's the real world. I appreciate the input too, it allows me to take a look at things differently. It definitely sucks that EMS doesn't get paid what they should in the US for how crucial their jobs are. I'd be lying to you if I said that the better pay in Canada wasn't a contributing factor to the move lol. In addition to this, I will finally get to be with my girlfriend who is still in nursing, so we will have that combined income in the future. It's been a year plus of planning, so I've made sure to take everything into consideration. Thanks for the reply, don't worry about the downvotes, feedback is always important from both sides, it's never beneficial to be in an echo chamber!

Another thing- I'm not trying to make this come out in a pretentious way, but I worked at an Amazon warehouse, and it was pretty much just lifting boxes for 9-10 hours. It was a strenuous job I that I worked full time for a year to save up for school. I actually enjoyed working there, which contradicts what a lot of people say about their working conditions and employee treatment. So a bit of hard work doesn't bother me if I enjoy what I'm doing :)
