funkytomtom Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 recommended for state certification! Also, top of my class of 35! I still have the state written and practicals to go through, but with some luck and a little more practice, I could be certified by the end of next week! This is a shamelessly self serving post and I don't really have any questions, but if you have some advice for a brand new emt (hopefully), I'm all ears. I have a job lined up working summer concerts at a ski resort as an emt, and maybe doing a little bit of bike patrol. Super happy I worked really hard and I beat all those other jokers in my class!

tskstorm Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Yeah like a MBA.... Congratulations. I'd settle for just a bachelor's degree.. and I don't know how prudent it is to get a masters in business at this time in our economy .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! I echo the sentiment of continuing your education- even if it's it's just gen ed classes until you find something that interests you. It's ALWAYS good to have something to fall back on- just in case. Look at the threads on injuries and see how quickly things can change. There are plenty of ways to use nearly any college degree in EMS- teaching, training, research, finances- even politics. It helps to set you up for hopefully a long and fruitful career. It's also easy to become wrapped up in the business, and not see other possibilities for your future. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
