An EMT (emergency medical technician) can work anywhere. You see them mostly working with paramedics on an ambulance but they can also be with a firedepartment. I have some EMT friends who work at factories. They are part of the special response teams. I am an EMT at the first responder level.
An EMT-B is trained to support and assist an EMT-P (paramedic) in the event of a traumatic event. EMT's are meant to treat casualties and sustain life at the site of an emergency as well as being transported to a hospital in an ambulance. EMT's are typically members of a Fire Department or ambulance service working for hospital.

It depends from state to state, but most requires you to work a full year as an EMT Basic before you can become an EMT Paramedic. You need to take the EMT Paramedic training and certification.
You become an EMT and work your way up. An EMT course at a community college is about 6 mos. After 2000 hrs as an EMT, you are certified as a paramedic.
EMT training courses prepare an individal to pass EMT accreditation exams in order to work as an EMT Basic or EMT Paramedic. Both provide emergency medical care to the injured or ill in a number of settings.
Check with the local school that provide emt training, like the community college.
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.
