    i don't know much at all about either the EMT/paramedic industry, or the energy industry, ...so i'll refrain from critique in that regard... however, i would say that, in general, ...the path of least resistance is not always the most virtuous one... ;)

    i graduated college 2x, both times from not great short programs and wish i'd gotten a real university degree. now at 35 i'm struggling with my IT career, maybe because i hate IT also, but the best advice i've got is to work towards a higher education in a subject matter you enjoy. i wanted to be a paramedic for the same reasons as you and to make a career change a couple yrs ago but wasn't able to due to shoulder/back injuries, in canada the pay is around 40-60k for paramedics, advanced care paramedics make more. is what you are doing the bare bones education? can you make more by continuing your education throughout the years or do paramedics there just cap out real low?
