So currently I am in the decision of employment with two companies. I am a brand new medic with no medic experience so far. One is 911 with some IFT. Other is purely ALS-IFT but they are getting a 911 contract next year.
Question is should I go with a 911 company that offers great experience but is only paying $16/hour for 12 hour shift. Also is hour and half hour drive to the station. Calculated to be $1300-1400 biweekly
Or ALS ift company that pays $23/hour for 12 hour shift and is 35 minute drive to station. My career goal is critical care/flight in the long run.
