Yea ive thought about what was shared here and a part of me wants to wait, and another wants to do it now. I want to retain my knowledge, but i feel like if I was to do EMS at my college, which is looking like a great possibility, then i think Id want to wait until next year to take a course.

Thanks VFFforpeople. Linuss: Just realised that vid from darien on the forum. For the record, I was interested in EMT-B certification before i saw that video. Long before.

I know Darien is ridiculously loaded. Thank god I dont live there. How do you know Darien? Explains what?

In Connecticut, the certification age is 16. I am 17.5 years old. The darien, CT EMS is run completely by High School Students. The HUGE problem if I wanted to work or volunteer, they want 18+ EMTs, because of their insurance, for driving purposes. So i think volly or paid might not work...

Thanks for the insight, much appreciated.

Well we'll see where this course takes me. I didnt plan on making a career out of an EMT-B cert. And good point about the medic students. ;)

Absolutely im serious about it. If i commit to something, I complete it to the best of my ability. Sure, id love to tell ppl im EMT cert., but thats not why I want it. I wouldn't go through an entire course for show-boating. I want to help people, I want to know what its like to save a life...

Hey guys im new to emtlife, but I just wanted to know your opinion on something. Im a junior in HS, looking to get EMT cert. at some point in my life. No way in hell ill be able to handle it during the school year, WAY too busy with extra curriculars and work. I want to take this summer...
