I love my choice of becoming a medic. I was told by a professor when I was majoring in another degree program that a job is something you do to make money, but a career is something you would do even if you don't get paid. I work at a county district and I don't make a lot, but I know how to live within my means. A lot of us do this because we love to help other not for the money. Don't get me wrong paying the bills is important, but if you do something you truly love then you will find a way to make enough money or will adjust to you income.
