Hahaha....high paying paramedic job...hahahaha.

There is plenty of them if you can relocate.

There is plenty of them if you can relocate.

Yep. There are fantastic, single role paramedic jobs out there. You just have to know where they are and you probably have to relocate.

I still say Sussex, for the shift schedule and the pay/benefits, coupled with the scope and unique deployment makes for one of the best jobs out there.

...but it's Delaware lol.

 

[NomadicMedic]

One of the reasons I chose to leave. Hahaha

 

[Chewy20]

...but it's Delaware lol.

True

It's really a decent place, especially if you decide to live on the beach side. Lots more to do.

However, it's most decidedly NOT a cultural Mecca. (One of the guys there couldn't wait to take me to Moes.) And the old boy network gets old quick. It's rather provincial.

If you aspire to senior level management, it's probably not a great choice, but if you wish to move up to midlevel position and make more than a comfortable living, in a tax free state, you won't do much better than SCEMS.

In my corner of the country here Private Transport paid better than 911 whether it was fire based or stand alone EMS, and working in the ER Trauma Center paid better than Transport. The Helicopter Pays a little better than the ER. But you ain't gonna get rich working any of them.

85% medical... You're rarely a hose monkey

To be fair, most fire agencies do 85% medical, doesn't make many of them any less hose-monkeyish.

To be fair, most fire agencies do 85% medical, doesn't make many of them any less hose-monkeyish.

The point was you are doing far more medical, so if you can tolerate just a little bit of hose monkey crap for 3 years, you can switch away from Fire.

What is the after tax on £104,000?
What are the educational requirements for a paramedic practicioner?
Doctors Out of Hours Services = all nights and weekends?

 

[Pond Life]

£104K before tax. Tax can account for up to 40% but if you have half a brain you ensure you're self employed and offset everything against tax. That normally reduces tax bill to less that £10,000 a year. Last year mine was below £3K.
Educational requirements - minimum of BSc Emergency Care or equivalent. It is becoming more common that the practitioner also sits the RCGP exam
Yes mainly nights and weekends. Occasional bank holidays

Doctors Out of Hours Services = all nights and weekends?

I'd work nights and weekends happily for $164,000/year.
