Emergency Medical technician

Duties and Responsibilities:

EMTs are clinicians, trained to respond quickly to emergency situations regarding medical issues, traumatic injuries, and accident scenes. They are not to be confused with the ambulance drivers, EMT’s are in the back taking care of the patient.

Average Yearly Salary:

$31,000

Education:

They must take a didactic course of 120 hours which includes practical, hands-on skill training. They must then take a clinical/field ride-along that is at least 24 hours in total and must have 10 patient contacts. They must finally take a test that is roughly 4-8 hours of everything they learned from lectures, presentations, skill labs, and simulations.

Would I like to be an EMT?
No I wouldn't because it takes too much work and time to be one, and what's worse is that they have too much and their mind and I'm guessing they are always physically tired for all the labor they must do. to top it off they have a horrible pay and almost everyone else can get paid the same or even more for less work than them.
