As a cool kid once said, GET SOME!! 

Emergency medical services and sociology double with video production certification. Looking beyond that, Eastern Washington for film MA.

Congrats - are you sure you want EMS? I have been doing it for almost 40 years - you won't get rich!

The film way seems cool to me.

Watched a guy only a few years older than me get trashed by a car in downtown Seattle and was one of the first people to respond. It seems I have a dormant talent in chaos. It's my "safe" career. Film is the dream.

Good for you  for stepping up to help!

Just a few tips from an old paramedic:

1. Study hard
2. Skills are the easy part
3. Treat EVRYONE with respect (same as you would treat a grandparent)
4. Have fun along the way
5. The career should give you time for lots of baseball.

Alrighty!  Go to it!!

It's certainly a career that is more robot-proof that some.
