Hi, Just got off shift so I promised myself a few "adult beverages" but your post caught my eye.
In North Carolina, EMS is strictly County Based with a pension in the LGRS and will match you in a 401K and or a 453b. Mecklenburg County EMS is the "elephant in the room" in the Carolinas as far as overhead, opportunity, pay, and we are the busiest system in both Carolinas. With National Registry I don't forsee a problem as my wife and I both came down from NJ over 2 years ago. The cost of living is quite less than up North. If you are interested, check out our website at medic911.com. All training is in house with state of the art medical services and training. We offer a bike team, SWAT medic, DMAT and there are plenty of opportunities for overtime. Hope this helped!
