You are right that he shouldn't regret it as learning is never useless, but it is still a sunk cost. Sunk cost is what you have invested into something that is gone, that even if you totally change direction it is gone. the year and money spent for the education is a sunk cost, whether he completes it or not, it is still a cost.
anyways I agree with the other posters that said you should pursue what you want to do. it's not like you are getting amazing grades, and you still have a few years before you are finished your degree. (if it was one year left I would say just finish it so you can fall back on it while pursuing the EMS). talk to people who do what you are thinking you want to do, see if you can volunteer or something this summer to see what it is like to actually do the job, then go get whatever you need to get paid to do that job. (nait etc). you are very young, and if you have decided what you want to do that is awesome, but don't wait til you are 23 and have gotten an accounting degree you hate.
