Whatever a person does for their job, be it an EMT-B, CNA, RN, MD, or cleaning toilets at the airport, do it to the best of your ability and do it with pride. There are no small jobs, just small people, or small people who look down on others...
Not discouraging anyone from moving up and futhering their education and career, just do it because it's WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, not because someone else is telling you to or because you're feeling 'shamed' into it.
Actually, there seems to have been ALOT of great points made on this thread. But I have to admit, the one I quoted really struck me as well thought out and spot on.
Perhaps try moving into an AEMT role. Work on that and see if that works before you commit to going all the way to medic.
Personally, as soon as I got into EMS, I knew for CERTAIN that paramedic was a must. I knew myself well enough to know that I wanted to be the "lead role" as someone put it. And that illustration was right on also.
I hope you get things figured out. Whatever you do, be the best you can at it.
Take care.
