f*ck school

I didnt have a clue what I wanted to do out of highschool. I tried going to community college for a degree in business management (I was a manager at our local paintball field when I graduated so I figured go with it). Went to school for like 3 weeks 2 days a week. I wasnt learning a damn thing and my instructor barely spoke english. I had a good friend/teammate that was a firefighter/paramedic and he always had really cool stories to tell. I talked to him about it for a bit and I thought it might be a feasable career. I joined a somewhat local college and enrolled in an EMT-basic class. It was absolutley amazing the amount of info I learned. After that I went through the fire academy. It was like basic training for a week. Running, pushups, more running, more pushups. After I finished the academy I looked for a job as a basic EMT and had 2 offers. I started working part time as an EMT when I started my paramedic class. I learned more in the first year and 1/2 that I was out of highschool then I did throughout all of highschool. I just passed my medic class by the skin of my teeth and now I need to get certified by the state. After that I should be able to apply to any fire department around here. Only took about 2 years worth of college and ill be working 9 days a month making 65-75k a year. Plenty of time off to work at a hospital making 20-25 bucks and hour.
Im done with my rant. Bottom line, I hated highschool as well but its something we all have to go through. Finish highschool, go to college (even if its a associates degree) and get a good job. Life will be MUCH better.

what happened to your age Stryder? I know a chick in PA and is interested in that kind of work. What school did you go to?
im not a chick, and my age...i have a habit of clicking the wrong date lol, even though i know when my bday is..i find certain numbers that distract me hahaha and i went to Champlain college. My girlfriend is interested in it, but she can't stomach it lol, so she sticks to working at the hospital as a nurse, which is a bit scary, cuz if you've ever seen her out in public..or me for that matter...(ask 01blasterfreak) im kidna scary too, but she works in a hospital though, so its more funny to see her go in and put on the white gown, and take off the black and chains and spikes but yah, there are alot of people in Pa right now trying to get into a forensics college (THANK GOD I WENT TO CHAMPLAIN B4 THEY TURNED IT INTO A DIGITAL FORENSICS THING ONLY..)
