How is pay and benefits and all that good stuff out there?

It's ok, pay is on the low end for my region, but benefits are pretty good. I make (after stipends) 14.50/hr as an intermediate and we're salary non-exempt so if I work less than 86 hours per week, I still get paid for 86 hours of straight time. If I work more than 86 I get time and a half for everything over that. And sicne we do paid on call at least 24 hours a week (1.50 an hour when we're not called in) we can usually get OT every check

That's not too shabby for an EMT-I in rural TX. A lot of 911 systems out here start paramedics at $17-19/hr.

Yea, I have no complaints :) It's great experience if nothing else. And we're actually the lowest paid third service in our area. Ward County and Pecos County both pay more than we do. I actually make more than some paramedics I know back in NM.
