      Most EMT training programs are under six months. The little kid might be 12 years old and the adult is 19.

      Yeah there are people born in like 2005 who are adults now, that's how the world spins

    I never wanted to be anything. Adults would ask child-me what I wanted to do as an adult and I'd just stare at them.

    This is usually the case after growing up and discovering your dream job (as a kid) pays dick.

      I used to want to be a teacher, and would still consider it, but the drop in pay would be abysmal

    Its honestly amazing on its own that they are quite good at drawing as an EMT. You'd think they'd be so busy nowadays.

    They wanted to be an artist, but ended up becoming an EMT because income. I wanted to be an EMT, but ended up not doing that because the pay is low.

    I originally went to college to be a high school teacher but went into computer science when I found it. I had one semester where I was a geology major and a computer science minor (thought I could be an earth science/computer teacher), but decided I didn’t want to go in for something else just to be able to teach computers.

    Eventually decided to do computers all the way and no regrets. Sometimes our dream jobs aren’t what we think I they will be.

    Fun story, on the university website my freshman year, I first signed up under ‘Phys Teaching’ thinking “oh I love physics”. Turns out it was Physical Education Teaching. Yeah no

    Nothing wrong with being an EMT who does all those things as hobbies, unless the capitalist pigs to whom you sell your hours demand more than their fair share...
