A big part of how much you get paid is where you live. In NM it ranged from minimum wage to around 11/hr

The pay varies greatly based on location, type of service working for, hours worked, experience, etc. You need to give us more information...

An even bigger portion of how much you make is how much you work...

A part time EMT can make $1-$100,000,000

Depends on how many hours. "Part-time" might mean 8 hours a week or 32 hours per week or anything in between. I suggest searching the forums to find an estimate of the hourly wage in your area.

pay isnt very good cuz its only a 120-hour course, dont expect much above minimum wage

and no, you can't really make a good living on a basic's salary, you'll need either three jobs or a paramedic license for taht

I make 12 an hr. (I would make more if they would let me drive) I'm a part timer due to school. So my yearly amount is based on how many shifts per week they'll give me.

you can also contact local companies and ask their starting wages.
here in N Cali we get the highest wages for EMTs, so I've been told; 17/hr
some p/ters work one 12 a month, some work 60 hrs a week. another thing to consider is overtime and how it us calculated.

That's the other thing to ask. a lot of service, when they hire PT they really are hiring PRN. So there's no guarantee on how many shifts/week you're gonna get
