Oddly, this is a hard question. The reason is that, while companies are not allowed to discriminate by age, this sometimes very physical job needs someone in reasonably good shape and age is a factor. First, let's discuss the different kinds of paramedics: * Firefighters and other public servants: This job category pays the best and gives you the best all-around training. Big cities will typically have very rigorous entrance and training requirements (LA for instance wants you to pass all the tests as Firefighter before you go on to Paramedic -- LA Sherriff has a hiring cutoff at 40 or 45 -- can't recall exactly), but smaller and more rural areas will be more flexible. * Contracted EMT's: These are EMT's working for a private company contracted by a Fire Department. The level of medical/first responder training is nearly the same as civil servant, but the pay is slightly lower as are the physical requirements. * EMT 1 -- Transport: This class is what evolved from Ambulance Drivers. While they are classed as EMT, they are far less trained (usually) and their job is focused on performing minimal stabilization of the patient, and transporting them ASAP. This lowest level of training should have the most flexible policy on entrance, and can -- sometimes -- provide entry into the two higher levels. I think you're going to find the age maximum is about 40-55 depending on where and who you ask. There is no federally mandated requirement, so you'll see different areas with different requirements (as an aside, the head of high altitude medical services at Denali State Park, AL (probably the most dangerous peak in the US) last I checked was around 75).

What is it like being an emt how many hours a week do you work Does it leave enough time for a personal life do they make enough money to live off?
Well, there are different levels of to being an EMT; there are EMT-B's, EMT-I's (in some states) and EMT-P. So I suggest you do some investigation work and decide which one you actually want to pursue. Overall, being an EMT is a fun gig. Depending on where you live definetly determines how many hours a week you'll work to what you'll actually see. If you work in a busy city, you'll definetly see some things and work a ton of hours. Once again, pay varies with where you work. A lot of EMT's work several hours over their norm because in more cases that not, the pay leaves something to be desired.
