These are just preliminary questions, I will probably think of more later I just didn't want you to think that I forgot about them or something like that. 1) How long have you been an EMT? 2) What, in your opinion, is the toughest part of your job? 3) What do you find most rewarding about this career? 4) What advice would you give to a student studying to become an EMT? 5) Are there any advantages to becoming involved with military medicine as compared to a civilian EMT? 6) What type of personality traits do you find most important for a successful EMT to posses? 7) What are the advantages and disadvantages to working in a rural environment as compared to an urban environment? Which do you prefer? 8) Besides emergency response, are there other aspects of being an EMT/Paramedic that are unknown to the average person?

Sorry for the wait on the questions I assure you that I will send out my questions, but I first have to think of some. I have a large workload so I have not had the amount of time that I would like to work on this project. Progress is slow but I will e-mail or pm somebody by this weekend at the latest.

Thanks for pointing the age issue out, I created this account on a school computer and did not have time to edit my info because I had to do it quick before the period ended. As for the myspace, I have no idea what happened.

I'm doing a project for my high school medical class on EMTs. A part of the grade is for an interview on a person who is in the field I have chosen. I was wondering if there were any EMTs on this forum that would be willing to respond to a couple of questions that I send them. If you are willing to answer my questions please send me your e-mail address and a description of what training/qualifications you have. Feedback would be greatly appreciated as this is one of the career options that I would like to pursue.
