    @jalen77232 I’m not sure, but my dad (17 years experience) told me “If you’re a Paramedic and live by yourself you’ll be fine, but if you wanna have a wife and kids you may have some money problems” so that’s all I can answer for you.

    @lipman19 well yes, but you can’t be a paramedic forever, yes they help people but they can’t help people if they can’t support themselves or their families.

    @KitchenPillow to be honest for most people like me it isnt about the salary it is about saving the life and the gratification of that

    @awweannabelle No,… to be firefighter you must be trained as EMT or Paramedic

    @huhster783 Im thinking the exact same thing. What are the requirements for firefighter/paramedic after you have already became a certified emt-b and passed the paramedic school/training?

    so to become an EMT  paramedic you need Firefighting training?

    I earn about 50k per year as a paramedic (excluding signing up for overtime shifts) here in south Louisiana, which is pretty good, when you factor in the relative lower cost of living we have.
    but given my level of training, responsibility, scope of practice and danger that is inherent with the job, (etc.) im underpaid. especially because i work for a ems service with a very high call volume.
    but……. at least i get to do a job i love. how many people can say that?

    Btw guys, they are showing Firefighter/Paramedics. Depending on where they live, they are getting a great salary. 70k at the least.
