I worked as not only a paramedic, but one who is still respected in the Fire/EMS community. I worked full-time while going to college to advance my education and progress in my career field. Unfortunately, having M.S. and its progression has led to my current situation in which, to continue to be in the workforce because of being on SSDI and the limitations that having M.S. Having imposed on me, I have to seek less traditional employment that the Fire/EMS field does not accommodate.
