Should I quit MEDIC school for a job offer?
Hello, I'm 21 year old from Chicago. I am currently enrolled in a paramedic program with 6 months left. I just got a job offer to go to Memphis Fire Department making around $60,0000-$65,000 a year. $10,000 sign-on bonus and they will help me with the moving process. I just wanna be a Career FF/EMT but nowadays u need your medic for that. But this opportunity just came to me. Should I quit school and take the job offer? or continue school and try to get national and stay in Chicago. Keep in mind the national is hard to pass and I heard the pass rate is low so idk if I wanna waste time finishing and I end up missing out on a job that will pay me well. I have until January to decide if I want to go or not please help.
UPDATE: I STAYED IN CHICAGO AND ENDED UP GETTING MY PARAMEDIC LICENSE!!! I FAILED MY FIRST TRY AT NREMT BUT I PASSED WITH EASE ON THE SECOND TRY!! I’m so happy I didn’t go to Memphis lol now I can work anywhere in the Chicago land area and be where I’m familiar and make more. Thanks guys.
