<p>I just began college as a freshman at a local community college and am nervous about the major I decided on (Emergency Medical Sciences). Does anyone have any advice?</p>
<p>Does it certify you as an EMT?</p>
<p>If it does, and you want to do that sort of work, sounds like a good path. I heard it’s pretty easy to get an EMT job if you have the credentials/certifications, but heard the pay is low.</p>
<p>Either way, it’s a very noble job. </p>
<p>If you don’t want to be an EMT, it would be good for jobs as a Firefighter or Police Officer.</p>
<p>After you get your Associates Degree, maybe looking into the military to be a medic or Navy Corpsmen. I have a close friend that is a Special Forces Medic and he’s the coolest dude I know. He actually taught me how to neutralize a rattlesnake bite with a stun gun, I mean…how cool is that?</p>
<p>In the meantime, maybe look into Volunteer Fire Departments to start getting you some experience in the emergency field.</p>
<p>If you wanted further education nursing would be a good path. I’d think Emergency Medicine and Nursing would set you up well to be a ER Nurse.</p>
<p>OR, I’m completely wrong about what this degree is and just gave you a bunch of crappy advice.</p>
