I just got my EMT-Basic, and I'm contemplating either taking a private ambulance job, or enlisting and becoming a 68w (combat medic). I'm kind of torn between the two options... I want to be a Paramedic, and both would give me the experience I need. I feel the Medic position would give me more trauma focus and additional skills, but an ambulance gig would be less of a commitment.
Can someone give me some facts to help me make a decision? How much do ambulance companies pay new EMT's? I know AMR is terrible, but places like Cape Cod Ambulance and some of the ones out in boston? Is it worth it to go after a job like that or should I man up and enlist?
