Hello my name is Jason and I have been jumping from school to school looking for what would suit me best. Until recently I had an epihany that EMS is the way to go. I am always working jobs ( like retail, Stockroom work, ect...) that take advantage of my kind nature and my eager need to help people. I love to help people and always put out extra effort to serve those in need. I dont get that respect in the jobs I have done and I get paid decent but dont feel fullfilled. EMS , even though doesent pay great, seems to reward one for there actual effort and kind nature, plus open up areas of other medical work. I have 2 kids, one on the way, and I love being a family man, but I want to do something to better my family and myself and the community.
I have a question though. I have heard countless storys of how people become addicited and consumed by the EMS world and end up losing there familys. I wanted to know is this due to the job itself or do the people that this happens to just let it get to them. I want to have this carrer but I want to have my family and myself as well. I know the job asks alot but so do alot of other carrers that are personally rewarding. Can I expect to lose my life due to this job or is balancing a possible course. Such as do you get days off and time away from the job. Thank you.
