I will be taking a EMT-B course in about a year or so, apparently there is a high demand for it in my area so I figured it is time for a new and exciting career! One of my old high school friends wanted to come along as well. He is not a bad guy but ran into problems years ago with an under age girl and was convicted of second-degree sexual assault after taking a plea bargain. He did not know that the girl was underage, at least that is what he said, I am not really sure if he knew or not. I told him that taking the course would probably be no problem, but finding a job afterwards would probably be impossible. Am I right? Or could someone with something like that on their record ever find a job as an EMT?
I am also a little concerned that being affiliated with someone with a record such as that could make reflect badly on me during the course or even afterwards. Is that possible ?
