I literally got my EMT certification less than a week ago, but I want to be and do more. My long-term goal is to be a firefighter-paramedic.
I’m not going to college after I graduate high school, because I either want to work as an EMT for a few years to gain more experience or go to paramedic school immediately. Like I am dedicated to this and this is what I want to do with my life.
My fear is that not having had worked as an EMT for a few years first would make me a bad paramedic. Do people do this, and is it true?
