toysoldier... I'm seeing and feeling the same thing. I'm also a pilot, (although only private) and am considering a career change. I'm 43, and semi-retired, ex Canadian Navy, currently driving a school bus in Oregon. The strange thing is, that EMS has always been a dream of mine. Unfortunately, I see that almost everywhere, EMT's and even some Paramedics make less than a school bus driver :shock: ! I may be wrong, but working 80+ hours a week is more in my pocket, but at less than $16.00/hr? Sounds outrageous to me! And our state requires a 2-yr degree for Paramedic as well.
Geez, guess I'm already a whiner. :oops: Maybe I will fit in after all!
