FDNY EMS has a shortage of EMTs and medics. Need to solve this problem. Its great that you want to raise the educational standards but this is not going to solve the immediate problems. May be in the future, the educational requirements can be fixed. Until than, a raise will fix the short term problems.
I'd like to say I agree, but what happens when you start attracting the wrong people to the job who will only take the job for the $$ and benefits? If you raise the education you will just turn those idiots mentioned above in italics away. Everybody wants EMS respected, how can you respect it if its a bunch of uneducated people off the street who went through the EMS academy and now slack off after their ride outs just to pick up a nice pay check?? FDNY EMS is suffering, and it's going to keep suffering until some special person dies.
