Paramedicine was rated one of the most miserable career pathways in addition to one of the most underpaid professions.

When I was an EMT many years ago, these were the most miserable, pessimistic, cynical, depressed, toxic, and unhealthy people I had ever worked with. Many were just bluntly straight out mean. One was an older pedo that kept fantasizing and commenting about the all teenage girls he'd seen out in public. One was a former trucker that chose to change jobs. Just about all of them discouraged me from continuing in this line of work. None of them seemed to be the type that aspired to become what they were.

In addition, there were fast food jobs that were paying more. EMS is not embraced as public safety because cops get all the recognition and respect. EMS is not respected much in the healthcare industry. We were never recognized much in policymaking or by state leaders. In fact, many local leaders wanted to replace us entirely by private ambulance companies or didn't care much about us at all.

I believe EMS could have had the potential and momentum to be something great and well-respected, it just never materialized.

It is something that has bothered me till this day, even when I am 31 years old and disabled. My best friend works in EMS and he is one of the most selfless, caring people. It is a shame and disgusting how lousy people can be towards our heroes.

I am 31 years old. I have held 25 jobs since the age of 15. I have been hospitalized in a psych hospital more than 20 times. In my late teens/early 20s, I became obsessed with finding another virgin to lose my virginity to. I lost my virginity at age 20 to a 16 year old young woman, and later I was arrested and convicted of stalking after trying to desperately and pathetically win her love. I ended up losing my EMT license after the entire ordeal. Then I went into software engineering and because I became desperate after trying to find a woman without a romantic past (after realizing being a woman's first love was more important than taking her virginity), I managed to get myself into an even more troublesome situation. I ended up getting kicked out of the software engineering community and being blacklisted all around town.

I finally managed to find the love of my life, and we are now married. We are each other's first real relationship. I regret all my stupidity from the past, but how as it stands, I am 31 years old and barely leave the house. Now I just collect disability.
