Hi all,

I am a 19 year-old student who will be attending Westfield State College in the fall. I am hoping to become a paramedic in the future, and because of this I will be majoring in a pre-health related field.

I heard of this forum on another forum. I know that there are a few members here from there

I live in the Boston area, and I am hoping to get a job with Boston EMS in the future. I know that they are fairly competitive, so if anybody has any advice, that would be great.

I hope to learn a lot by reading the posts on this site.

Stay safe!

Eric

Thanks for the input. I also have a lot of work experience including:

Karate instructor

Baseball umpire

Volunteer with the elderly

Volunteer at mission of deeds (similar to salvation army)

I will be working as an EMT in college

Is there anything else I could do make me a better candidate?

Thanks!
