I am currently a licensed EMT-I in the state of Georgia, and I have just completed a Paramedic program and passed my National Registry. I have a misdemeanor burglary charge from 12 years ago, which is hindering me from being licensed in this state.
As far as my research, petitioning to have a criminal history sealed is the only way to go. But, mind you, the criminal background check policy just changed in January of this year... Who knows, I might have to go work in Alabama or some other 3rd rate state :(

You cannot work as a paramedic anywhere with a felony on your record as far as I know. Some violent misdemeanors will even disqualify you from employment.
I am not sure exactly but it may have to do with what the felony is....My parents are EMTs.....they dont really do much...they are more cleanup.... (<------ wrong; you have to have a background check and be able to pass it; so no you can not.)
Someone can be charged with felony burglary even if they were the driver and never went in to the house because they helped in the commission of that crime.
Burglary, per se, is considered a felony offense in all jurisdictions. There are some burglary-type offenses that possibly could be charged as misdemeanors, but they fall under an entirely different statute, and they can difffer from state-to-state.
