Emergency Medical Technician

Duties and Responsibilities: One of the most critical EMT responsibilities is assessing the medical needs of the sick or injured. This must be done quickly and efficiently, especially in serious life or death situations when a minute lost can mean the difference between saving someone or not.

In order to provide an accurate assessment, an EMT must remain composed enough to draw upon his or her training and experience. Sometimes making an assessment is relatively easy. An example would be when a child has fallen and broken their arm. The EMT stabilizes the broken bone, checks for shock or any other injuries and transports the child to the hospital so the bone can be x-rayed and set.

Average Yearly Salary: $40,000-$60,000

Education: Students must have a high school diploma (in some areas GED certificates may be substituted) in order to become an emergency medical technician.  Driver's education, health, and science courses are strongly recommended and may be required before enrolling in some training programs. 

I wouldn’t like to be a medical technician because they make a low profit each year I would rather be an FBI agent even though they make low money I like learning amazing things I never knew.
