Hello guys!

I'm planning on getting EMT Cert in SoCal this summer, and want to be on an ambulance ASAP, with the goal to eventually be a FF/PM in SoCal. My overall plan is to:

-Get EMT Cert in SoCal

-Move out of state to work as an EMT somewhere where its more in demand for about a year

-Move back to SoCal for Paramed school

-Do all the fire certs/stuff in and hopefully get hired as an FF/PM in SoCal

I have a few questions:

-Is this a viable/realistic path?

-Where are some places that are need of 911 EMTs?

-Roughly how long from start to finish?

I don't know anyone in EMS or FF so I'm planning on going to a few stations to chat but would love some initial feedback. Thank you guys so much!
