How did you go about getting into EMT and can you progress further in the medical field from there?

I am planning on going for EMT, but I am worried about hitting a wall. I want to go for my Masters degree and aim to be a Health Specialties Teacher. Should I just stick to college and get my Masters or would EMT be a good foot in the door?

As a high school pre-nursing student, how do I know if becoming a nurse is the right career for me?

I have been a pre nursing student since I was 15 years old (almost 3 years). While I love learning new things in the healthcare field, I sometimes wonder if I'm taking all these college classes for nothing.

What made you pursue this career path? How much do you make in the beginning and how much do you make later on? Does it get easier with experience? How much schooling do you need to start? What internships could you get after schooling and during schooling?

When you get the internship does that help get you an official job at the place you get there or help you get recommended to other places?
