Congrats! I assume you had a Practical exam like I had when I got my EMT way back when.......prepared or not, that was a nail-biter heh.

Yeah, man......I'm almost 40, been working since I was 16. I think I was unemployed for a whole 2 weeks once after I got out of the Navy....that's it. I had second jobs for a decent bit as well, so I've given them a LOT of money over the past 23 years; I'll give them a lot more before I can retire too. I'm pretty much counting on not seeing a dime from Social Security either. Just look at the bottom number on your pay stub and don't pay attention to the other numbers. It makes it easier.
