I'll start off telling a bit about myself: I'm about to start an EMT-B class that is 9:00-16:00 Tues/Thurs from 2/14 - 5/22. I'm a 22y/o male in Central Oklahoma, and have wanted to get into the program since I got out of HS, but financial restraints at the time and youthful indecisiveness delayed my pursuit of a particular educational goal. I'm not sure what I'll do after I get my EMT-B Cert., I want to work ASAP after getting certified. I think I will enjoy it. I know I want to be in a field where I am helping to save and preserve life. I have 34h college credit atm - so I'll either be getting an associate's as a paramedic, possibly an RN - it just depends how much I like the setting. Anyway, enough background. I have a couple of questions: 1) How difficult is it to find a job as an EMT-B fresh out of school? I tend to perform well academically, so you could assume I'll be a good performing student. 2) If working on an ambulance will a large part of my job be merely driving around the EMT-P and the patient? 4) In addition to taking the course itself, what else could I be doing to help myself? I need to start lifting some weights, I think - my arms are rather scrawny and effeminate, and I know lifting people will be part of the job. But, what text resources should I be consuming? I want to focus largely on course material, obviously, to perform well, but I do have a little over a month before the course starts. Would merely getting the course textbook and reading it before the class begins to give myself an edge be a good idea? My apologies for the almost childishness of the questions, I'm just a bit excited and want to perform well in the coming months. Thanks.
