EMTs are like veterinarians. Lovely people who get ruthlessly exploited. Benefits are garbage unless you’re a unionized public employee.

Yeah, every EMT I know was way underpaid for how crazy stressful it was. Especially considering how expensive the ride was

EMT now is often used as a stepping stone to a career with a liveable wage, like physician.

This is fairly funny to me because I reckon most residents only had to do research to get in. EMT and tech experience are negative differentiators in getting into medical school, which is a shame.
