Jobs here are just crap right now. There is a IFT company hiring but they want you to be 21 and I don't turn 21 until january :/ .

Since I'm idle I decided to apply to medic school. I really wish there was some type of place I could volunteer here but for now I guess volunteering at a hospital will have to do.

My mistake I meant emt*** wrote from my phone.

I haven't been able to find a job so I'm going to try and enroll in paramedic school. Has anyone here held a job as a met while going to paramedic school? I need to have some type of employment and I would prefer to work in the field I train for...
