Welcome! Look around the forums, chat with people, and get a feel for how EMS is. A word for the wise, you will NOT get rich in EMS! Most likely you will not get any appreciation either. You will work wacky hours, get abused by patients, and in general treated like a runt by ER docs. However, the payoff is making a difference in peoples lives, knowing what you do actually matters, and meeting a lot of generally good people who are very genuine in their love for their work. Also, everyone is right about how being a EMT-B is a stepping stone to Paramedic. If your hearts not in it, maybe you should take dustdevils advice and look into being a RN, less time, more money. Good luck.
