Default Any jobs you wanted to do until you found out they didn't make shit?

i wanted to be a paramedic (or EMT, i think the teriminology refers to different jobs in areas outside the US). sounds exciting/rewarding. but they only make like $30,000 a year. still kind of appeals to me, but i'm already two years in at a 4 year university. feels like i can't quit now, and i'd probably regret it anyway.

still, part of me wishes i had just stayed home, got an associates or whatever, and went that route.

what about you guys?

How can you confuse the name?

Para - Latin - past, beyond
Medic - Medical

So, someone who specalises in medicine who travels. In Australia it is the guys who are in the back of the an ambulence or a medic in the military.

I wanted to be a cop when I was younger : /

i've read that paramedic and EMT are different jobs in some countries. in the US it usually refers to the same thing.

Since you've changed your major already, you're probably looking at the same amount of time left as other freshmen, no?
