I never understood that.

Hey I stuck mine up; I'm done working there anyway and it was just during school (required for the degree).

you should get paid more then that :/

Basic isn't all that hard. 16 weeks, twice a week four hours each night plus a 10 hour clinical shift (field work). EMT-Paramedic is a hell of a lot tougher. 32 weeks, three times a week, five hours each night plus 300+ clinical hours, hospital rotations in burn/ICU/peds/OB/GYN/Surgical. The nice cushy EMS jobs are municipal fire departments. 24hr on 48hr off, $50,000+(in my area anyway) a year base and you only work 90 days of the year. Medic is a ways off for me, but I'll get there. :)

Rogo

Basically the devices that allow us to gather alarms, whether they be building alarms(high temps, ac fails, open door types) or service alarms(T3 fails, equipment failures.)

Yeah, crazy kinda goes with the territory. :D The national registry tests we have to do are a pain in the ass. The questions/answers are worded so they intentionally try to screw you up. Fun stuff to say the least. :D
