A little off topic, but here is a bit of wisdom:
EMT's get paid shit, I know this first hand from working 60+ hours a week trying to bring in a decent living. In rural areas this is ok because you may only run 1-5 calls in a 12 hour shift. In the city the pay scale isn't much better, but EMS doesn't mean the same thing in the city as it does in rural areas (Rural EMS = Earn Money Sleeping).
Things to expect: Never finish a meal, expect only a couple good trauma calls a year if your lucky, the rest will be bullshit calls such as transfers and people with medicaid that have had a cold for a week but there car won't start to go to the ER at 0300. You will learn to despise nursing homes and everyone that works in them.
That said it can be a very rewarding profession, every day is different and you never know whats coming at you when the page tones go off.
Of course I could be completely wrong and your just getting your B for a completely different reason.
FWIW I spent 1 semester as a part time student to get some prereqs out of the way, and then 11months as a full time student (3 days a week) to finish my LPN and I am currently working on my RN (3 days a week, only 2 semesters after LPN). I work full time in the ER as an LPN and make more than the local medics (EMT-P).
