I'm currently enrolled in a Critical Care Paramedic course. I have no end goal with it I just had the money and the time and figured why not? I mean is furthering my education and skill set ever a bad thing? I will not receive higher pay at my current job but it will set me up to not only become certified as a Critical Care Paramedic but also as a Flight Paramedic if I should choose to go that route. Anyways, I hear my co-workers discussing MY decision to pursue this some saying its unnecessary B/c I can't use the new skills on the truck (911 service). Not that I care what they think but I am curious to know what other EMS professionals think.
