If paramedic interests you, go for it. You will still get to deal with the crappiest elements of society (nobody calls for ambulances like the ghetto) and drive fast. You just have to decide if you want to be the blood maker, or the blood patcher. ;D
I don't feel like going to university for the hell of it, like most of my friends. After four years I'll graduate with a degree in basketweaving and be no more employable then I could be with a "useless" PF diploma.
However, I wouldn't mind being an officer in the military...the only thing that would really push me to go for a degree. Does anyone here know about mature applicant status with universities? I think I read once that if I complete a college program, even if I didn't take all university prep courses in school, I would still be considered?
I'm thinking police foundations would be a place to start. Hell, my friend's mom is a cop and said the criminals sometimes take it for kicks.
P.S I know all about the ghetto. There are paramedics at my school frequently, and I swear they might as well set up a police station in the parking lot.
