I do have a sense of humor, I was trying to make a joke as well, if i offended you I'm sorry. But I don't plan to go EMS. I do plan to go to West Point after I graduate high School and after 10 years maybe be a police officer.

Not to mention, you do realize that virtually all EMT-Bs are volunteers, right? For the most part, it's only Paramedics who get paid. However, they have to have an Associates Degree under their belt. EMT-B is just a few months of night school, two times a week at the local community college.
Okay, then I amend my previous clause with:Large urban centers notwithstanding.

Every urban center in the county employees hundreds, if not thousands of EMT's as BLS care providers. Between paid BLS First Responders, Third Service, Voluntary Hospitals, Fire Department Based Service, Police Department Based Service, EMT's paid by Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Services.......I'd say most EMT-B's are paid.
Defiantly under appreciated
