Pros
rewarding
The people, you get to meet and see alot of different people, both good and bad
challeging and no 2 days are really ever the same
job security
pretty decent pay
benefits are really good
flexible schedule

Cons
Stress, this could be a pro too, some people absolutely being in trauma situations and love the adrenaline rush that comes from those situations as well

You will see things that no matter how hard you try, you won't forget and wish you never had

Long hours. 12 hour days that can turn into 14 and sometimes their is no sitting down and you are running your ass off from the moment you step foot in the door

I got out of Respiratory Therapy and into I.T.

I sure wish I could unsee some of the "stuff" that I've seen. But on the other hand I lost track of how many lifes I've saved. So I guess thats a fair trade off.
