The jump was fine for me. We even had the option of testing for the EMT-I half way through the course work, but I just went right to the P
interesting... the feared "don't do that" jump
I've got $30,000 or so in debt.
I figure my educational experience was worth going without things like a new car for a few years.
Some people just don't need college. Sadly, I don't think I'm one of them.
I would think that a lot of people are in school just because everyone else is.
College is the new highschool and grad school is the new college. Advanced degrees (doctorates) are the new masters degrees.
People are DEFINITELY only going because its socially the thing to do. Many people have no idea why they're here (hence the party scene (there are good parties, and then there are parties that get thrown because people have nothing better to do)) Also, I see a LOT of people struggling in their fields in the sense that... if you get a degree in say marketing, you MUST get a job in marketing... which is completely untrue.
So how do you change this situation, or do you even bother?Quotepmp6nl: Yeah... i used to be an EMT back in NY. I let it expire when I moved to ND tho and didn't use it while I was in NC. I've been 1st aid and CPR cert'd up until this year tho. But thats sort of hokey to me.
Cool, im actually a paramedic

As far as enrollment, its good and bad. But I think we need to focus on educating people from ND and I suppose the region and serving the people of ND through various programs, etc.I think its a great idea, but when I can make as much as someone with a 4 year degree, even more. with no college piece of paper. Its quite a sad place to have a job. (this is happening with my girlfriend and me right now. She has a 4 year teaching degree. I have 2.5 years of college done, with 4 attempts at college algebra and no passing grades yet And I make more)
