I think he was quoting my post - my wife worked as an EMT in California and made just over $8 hour - sorry it was not relevant to the topic, but I was amazed in the pay difference and had to comment.
As for the argument of EMTs/Paramedics sitting around watching TV - I don't know what it's like there, but when she moved into dispatch she more often than not ran out of ambulances to send to calls. And to those who say its not a dangerous job - she had at least 1 call a day where someone she was treating threatened to beat her up or had to wait until the cops secured an area before they could even enter.
