Unique career options in Health/Medicine that aren't a Doctor or PT?

I am currently majoring in Exercise Physiology and I am also getting my EMT certificate right now. I am really enjoying my EMT class, but am wondering what I can do with both an EMT certificate and an Exercise Physiology undergraduate degree after I graduate. Will I need to go and get a graduate degree or above to have a substantial job after college that includes my love of health and medicine?

What are the pros and cons to becoming a paramedic?

I would love to become a paramedic, but i've heard from a lot of people that it's not that great of a job. There's often trauma involved, and it is at random hours of the day. Apparently it consumes your schedule. I would love to become one, as I said before, but I don't know if it is worth it. Any thoughts?

I am wanting to become an EMT

Hello, I am finally starting to become serious about wanting to start my career and I am just wanting/needing help on where to start and how to go about it. I've been looking into schools, but I also want to go to my local fire station to talk to someone there, and to also put a face to a name. I want to start school at the end of this year or beginning of next year (2025). I know you start by going to school and getting your EMT and becoming certified, but I like to know all the information I can get and being able to talk to someone already in the career seems helpful to me. All of this to say what should I do and where do I start, and are there any tips for me. Thank you!!
