  1. Haven't been on here since April, and haven't got the hang of this yet. I don't know if i can post a new topic anywhere else. For those who live in NYC, How long did it take you to get a job after getting your certification?
  2. I know what you are saying, I hate people who are like that. Plus they don't pay much in NY to EMTs anyway, but I still chose to become one, because I knew this is what I wanted to do.
  3. that is true, but I'm sure the older I get the more I wouldn't want to be out anymore. okay, people get into a career field because they want to, at least I would hope so. Obviously I am just not doing it just for pay, why would I waste money on something that I wouldn't have passion in ? So don't take it in the way that you are thinking.
  4. Yeah, I spoke to an EMT who works for FDNY, he is about to retire. He told me working on the street is the worst, and if I go in, go in for communications. He also said I am going to get "burned out" but I know people that have been doing this for years, and love it. The getting a degree part yeah, I am thinking about it, but I can't let this cert go to waste also. More money, and I don't want to get away from the medical field.
  5. Thanks for the advice :] but I've researched everything, and I don't mind either or. Just for me I prefer to be in an ambulance than to be stuck inside a place. Plus I honestly don't plan on moving out of NY, But thank you everyone for your input, it is highly appreciated. But like I said my main focus is to get into FDNY, although they won't open up their filing till September, I just wanted to go back to school to get a degree on something, and I figured I would get one in nursing.
  6. Thank you :] , and I don't know I feel as if I were to jump into paramedic then, I would lose everything I've learned for EMT. I don't plan on going now anyway, I want to see how much I can handle in two years, plus I've been thinking about going back to college for nursing. Thanks for the advice !
  7. I am from New York (as my username says). I've just gotten my cert a couple of days ago finally , applying for different companies. As of right now I am volunteering, but its pretty boring, either I sign up for the wrong tours or they never get any calls lol. But I plan on going to a new company, because I heard pretty good things about them, at least till I get a call back, but I will stay volunteering on the side. I am not only doing this just for money, although here EMTs don't get payed much anyway. Got a long way till September also to join FDNY, which is my main goal. But question, how do you feel about people who take an EMT class, and then jump right into a paramedic class after?
  8. such a beautiful day in NY

  9. Good thing you are studying early, I highly suggest that lol.
