I am enrolled in an EMT-B course right now and I'm going to finish it in the end of May. I am 17 (will be 18 the end of August) and a junior in high school right now. I was conveniently not informed until today during class by one of the instructors that I won't be able to work with their EMS service, or apparently not that many services under the age of 21 for insurance reasons. I am hoping that there would be some small town near me with a EMS service that would allow me to work being under 21.
The paramedic program in my area looks fantastic (NDSCS), but the problem is that it is in North Dakota (where I live now). I would like to spread my wings and explore some other, warmer options. I do not want to get stuck working with the EMS service affiliated with the tech school here in ND, because suddenly 10 years will go by, then 20, and so on.
I would have no problem getting my associates degree at a tech school affiliated with a service, just as long as it's located somewhere warm and busy. The states I am considering are CA, CO, WA, or NC. It doesn't have to be a big city but it certainly could be an option.
If there are better options that are not in the states that I mentioned, I will most definitely look in to those as well. I am looking forward to read your replies!
Thanks
