KOOL&KRAZY asked:


My dream job would be being a physical therapist, but I really get dicouraged when I see I have to go to school for 7-8 years and how competative it is to get into a PT program.

So I was wondering what would be a good job, (by good a mean a good paying job maybe mid 70′s and up and good availability).

I would really like it to be in the Medical Field. I really enjoy it…

Dave W asked:

At 43 I can have a second career. I’ve always wanted to be a paramedic, but I’m not sure it’s appropriate, or I’ll be able to find work, since I’m a bit beyond the average rookie age. What’s the best and worst parts of the job, and what challenges could I face being a bit older (I’m in pretty good shape (can pass the RCMP PARE test) and am used to stressful situations)?
I’m in Alberta, Canada, where the provincial health agency (Alberta Health Services) runs the city and rural ambulances. There are also many opportunities in the oil and gas industry, and there are a few companies that do special events, etc.

The money’s OK – rookie EMTs make about $20/hour, and paramedics make up to $30/hour. Paramedics in private service make up to $600/shift. The money’s not the issue.

I’m concerned about the mental and physical stress. I know there’s a high rate of burnout. Why? And would being a bit older be an advantage or disadvantage in managing this?

Mrs. Spock asked:

What if one has to quit their current job and return to college? Is it hard to get health insurance and living expenses from a loan?
please don’t send me any promotional websites – I think they’re all full of nonsense.
