Are emergency service based jobs worth it?

I am debating if I should do this, but the problem is, I don't know if it is worth getting into with the work hours and dangers. #emergency-medicine #hospital-and-health-care #firefighting #law-enforcement

I am interested in an active job. What is a good way to get into it?

I prefer not to be cramped inside an office space, so what is a good job where you do things such as running around or exploring? Also, are there any recommended class(es) I should take?

Why are students pushed to enroll in 4-year colleges right out of high school?

How do I get an internship with a career where confidentiality is key?

I want to see what its like in the daily life of a Medical Social Worker, but I understand that the privacy is important from patient to professional, and personally, I would not want to put my business out there to someone who is barely learning the ropes.
