One of my big worries was along the lines of getting school done, getting into paramedic school, and not having anyone willing to hire a 49-50 year old. If you all feel that services or other places would give me a chance, then I will push forward.

Ok,here is the background. I retired from the US Navy about 12 years ago;I have been working as a Home Inspector/School Bus Driver since then, but the Home Inspection has mostly died thanks to the real estate market. 5 years ago, I got my emt license because that is what I really wanted to do if I couldn't do home inspections, but due to commitments beyond my control, I was unable to work as an EMT and continued with keeping Home Inspections. The more it died off, the more I "dreamed" of pursuing the EMT which is what I had in my mind that I wanted to do.

Now flash forward to present, I am reregistering for the upcoming EMT class at my local college to pursue the EMT again, I truly hope that I get accepted into the paramedic class for next year because that is where I would like to be.

Drawback, I am 47 years old, that means that I will be 48 when I begin working as an EMT and possibly 49-50 for Paramedic. For those that hire people at your service/hospital; is that doable or am I just too damn old?

Can't wrap them if I haven't bought them yet.
