buffalo girl,
There are plenty of jobs doing the whole private service in MO, if that is the dark alley that you wish to travel down. J/J its not that bad I currently work for a private service and a PT at a "real" EMS service. I love the later of the two but the pay isn't too bad from the private service. I look at it as a stepping stone, good experience and room to move on. GOOD LUCK on your NREMT testing you'll do fine.
ALMOST!!!!
