I miss my time on the bus (yeah, I said bus). Maybe we make the past seem much better than it was but I would love to go back to those days. I don't miss some of the shit that management pulled, like the guy in the Durango they hired whose only job was to sneak up on crews and find some way to bust them. If I could talk to the young me I would tell him, "DON'T DO IT!!! DON'T GO INTO MEDICINE!!!" The enjoyment of medicine is being beaten out of the field by people who have no medical knowledge and have never taken care of a pt.

This may very by state, as the state is the licensing body...I work in Texas, so I'll speak to that. I assume the process will be similar, but won't swear to it. A misdemeanor on your record shouldn't prohibit you from becoming licensed, the problem would be an agency hiring you because of insurance concerns related to the reckless driving. If this gets expunged, I would think it's no longer an issue. Question for you-Why do you want to be an EMT? If you have a degree in microbiology it seems like you could use that for a much better career with advancement opportunities. No judgment, I'm interested in your answer.
