EMT/Paramedic
While most EMTs and Paramedics complete two-year degree programs or certification, additional degrees can lead to career advancement within the job, or greater chances for pursing a separate healthcare career. A career as a paramedic is a great segue into a job as an ER nurse, physician assistant, or flight nurse.
EMT and paramedics are relied upon to have quick reaction times and the ability to handle large amounts of stress. They work in a variety of settings, from ambulances to hospitals to helicopters. Because EMTs and paramedics are almost always the first on scene, this field rarely sees a slump in employment. Like many healthcare industries, EMT and paramedic employment is expected to grow faster than average over the next eight years.
