Emergency Medical Technician

Duties and responsibilities:Your job duties as an EMT can depend on your level of training and experience, as  well as state regulations. The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) offers certification at five levels, and each level involves additional training in order to perform a greater variety of medical treatments. The most common levels of training for EMTs are EMT - Basic, EMT - Intermediate, and EMT - Paramedic. The NREMT also certifies EMR (emergency medical responders) and advanced EMTs, although these levels of certification are not recognized in all states. All emergency medical technicians are responsible for rushing to the scene of crisis and can perform basic life-saving techniques.

Salary:$31,980 per year & $15.38 per hour.

Education:Most states require you to complete a certificate program in emergency medical technician training in order to qualify for state or national certification exams. Many community colleges also offer associate's degree programs at the paramedic level. In general, basic and intermediate emergency medical technician training can be completed in six months, while paramedic training may take one to two years to complete, depending on whether you choose to earn a certificate or an associate's degree.
