Becoming a Paramedic later in life
Hi! I am a 25 year old, I've been working in customer service for about 10 years and marketing for just over two. In the past year I started to have the itch to fully career switch and go into first responding, specifically becoming a paramedic. I am currently upgrading my marks right now and doing very well in my math, english, biology, and chemistry courses, and am looking forward to my prospective future. However, I often go between feeling good about starting over and feeling scared. I am beyond unfulfilled in my professional life at the moment, and as crazy as this seems I sometimes have felt like it's too late for me. it doesn't help that I have a firefighter in my family who is unsupportive of this decision due to some very outdated beliefs about women, but also based on his own personal experiences and traumas.
I guess I'm here to ask for any advice from anyone who was once in my shoes. ALSO if anyone has any information about getting into school with marks from an upgrading service, that would be quite helpful too.
Thanks!
