Re: What has been your biggest mistake in life so far?
1. Not going to UCSB. Instead going to close-to-home CSULB.
2-1000. Skipping class, sleeping in, staying up too late. 1001. Not calling my great grandma before she died recently (98 years old, wow). 1002. Selling my bug. 1003. Quitting hockey. 1004. Letting myself get out of shape. 1005. Playing too much p***r

Re: What has been your biggest mistake in life so far?
I don't really recall anything that I can look back on and regret. I mean, I guess you could say that my stint in car sales was a mistake, but that indirectly opened another door for me. I won't say that there are NO mistakes in life, but I think it's important to look at situations and see opportunities instead of failures.
I'll bet every other OOTiot here is going to jump on and say "nuh uh" to this post, but what can I say...I'm just a luckbox when it comes to life I guess. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

cadillac1234, what is it you regret about being a paramedic? I ask because I am considering becoming a paramedic. [/ QUOTE ] If you can get on a fire department it's not a bad gig but I personally had absolutely zero desire to be in the fire department. Working for a private ambulance company is terrible. Long hours (56/week) at 1/2 of the pay of a nurse with a lot less benefits plus a large portion of your time is dealing with the dregs of society. The job is also a heckuva lot more dangerous than what the pay scale is paying. Around here $35-45/hour for a registry ER nurse is pretty standard versus about $20-25 for a paramedic. If your interest lies in medicine you'd be a lot better off taking the extra year to be a RN or a PA. You'll have a lot more opportunities and avenues open to you if you decide EMS isn't what you want to do. Believe me, staying up all night running drunks gets really old after a couple of years. Feel free to PM me if you got any questions.

It is easy to see how people can burn out on this job, though.
