I personally have no intention of becoming a paid FF (and so are many people in my fire classes), but I still attend fire and EMS classes (as well as college A&P) to be better. At the same time, there are a lot of career EMTs who do not attend college and only take minimum con-ed classes.Thats because they hope to become paid firefighters. If EMS ups requirements people will not man up and get the education unless they want a paid position in many cases. There will be exceptions but not many unless the services pay for it, but then you can't really claim you are doing it for free then.
It's not black and white. On both sides of the fence there are folks willing only to do minimum and vice versa.
