    Is this website accurate when it comes to paramedic salaries

    Here in Central Texas living expense is pretty low (outside of Austin) so making 40-45K is very livable. It all depends on where you live.

    ED Tech jobs

    I know a hospital near me that I did my rotations in hires basics as ED Techs. They generally stick you with a ED tech that is a medic and you do what you can to help the nurses. Which, unfortunately as a basic is wiping a lot of butts.
