Because I want to work 911. Never had a desire to be a nurse and even If I did, the hospital I work for gives no **** about their employees so they dont help with any kind of schooling. Its pretty sad. 911 is just more for me. Just hard to wanna do when they pay is worse than some burger joints these days

It's 2500 a month base for a brand new emt, I normally pull in about 3000 or so, therefore on track for about 37,000 yearly. One or two extra shifts or standbys help alot!
Also, rent in a great apartment in the south west is about 800, needless to say nothing like the Bay Area. (Where I'm from as well.)

My paycheck seems so much smaller after taxes...

No kidding! My figures are all pre tax unfortunately.

At least unlike some EMS companies, our company is consistent with employee pay, issuing W-2's, and our checks are always on time!
But to get back on track, as Ghost02 stated, a good apartment can be had for about $800 +\- a month in the southwest part of town (which is a nicer area). I currently live in the southwest and can vouch for it being a decent area.

You make more as an EMT than I do as a medic at Acadian.

I've been a Paramedic for 17yrs. I worked in Ventura County, CA for AMR. I quit the job to try something new, but I miss the rig and the calls. I'm interviewing with Hall in two days. How's the interview process and does Hall pay for experience? Do they start everyone at $40,000? Thank you for your time.

Hall does pay for experience. Not sure how much you'd make though.
I'm also curious what a 1 year medic would make annually (before or after taxes) I think I make more hourly where I'm at but not sure how it figures yearly

All I can say is call Hall HR and ask them. They're more than willing to answer questions.

Ok guys. Any pointers on what to say and what not to say in the interview?

nothing to do with wanting to or be in fire...you want a long career there, i believe they have over 50% of employees have been there at least 5 years.
theres a bunch of what would do you in the scenario questions. HR type of stuff

I read a job posting on CL For Hall stating that starting pay for EMT is a little over 14$ hr? Is this true? I keep reading a lot of stuff on here saying its like 11. Can someone clear that up

Do they consider ER experience?
