Best Answer:
You need to take an EMT training course after graduating from high school. They take about six months and you can go at local community schools etc. Google EMT Training, (Your City). There is some demand for EMTs because there is a lot of turnover.

1. you have to be a failure in high school and can't get accepted to a real school 2. take some weekend courses in CPR 3. watch some TV hospital drama so you know the medical terms 4. apply for a job
