This varies. If you are an EMT basic, Intermediate or Paramedic working for a private ambulance company, you could work 8, 12 or 24 hour shifts. Typically Paramedics who work with a company that stages their ambulances (places ambulances in strategic locations within their jurisdiction) work 12 hour shifts and usually four days a week. Firefighters who are EMT's or Paramedics can work 3 days on, 3 days off and one day on call. It just depends on where you work and who you work for.

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.
