My opinion is that regardless of job you intend to go into (remember this may change...decide you don't like it...get injured and forced to retire...etc etc), you want your end goal to be a 4-year degree. You can start at community college, then transfer to state. Or go straight to a 4-year. Private, Public. Just end up with a bachelor's. That's baseline (for hireability and being well-rounded and life experience). Then go for your specific job training (whether that's a PhD to be a chemist or a certificate to be a paramedic).
Of course, many are successful going different routes, but there's no way to know if that'll work for you.
I'm at the age where I'm starting to see friends "stuck" when they realized their LE or EMS careers were not for them and are now trying to get back into real school.
thanks for all the info....passing it on to my daughter.
btw..... she is in Florida

How does going to a career college (vocational school) vs regular college compare in the areas of education, desirability as a hire, salary, etc?
The career college is 1 year (EMT-B and Paramedic) total.
The college is either 4 months or 6 months, depending obviously on days attended oer week.
Then the Paramedic program is 19 months.
Thanks
