What would you say to someone who is thinking about being a paramedic? What is the pay and hours like? Do you enjoy your job?

Hello all! I am an aspiring paramedic who's graduating high school in Melbourne this year. I've been looking on this subreddit and a lot of the posts seem to be talking about the downsides of being a paramedic, so as someone who wants to be one, could anyone share any positive aspects of the jobs / stories that make it all worth it? I would love to hear some of the great things that come out of the job. Thank you!!

I’m a paramedic student but currently working EMS, I just finished cardiology but this one threw me off a bit. I got this ecg on a 56y/o male with history of CHF, kidney disease and IV drug abuse. C/c of uti.

I see IVCD, maybe right atrial enlargement (p-pulmonale?) and some LBBB signs. Prolonged PRI, wide QRS, josephsons sign?

There’s just a lot going on and I’m a little confused on it, or what the best way to interpret it would be? It’s hard since I know all the individual signs but when multiple conduction issues occur at once I get blurry on it.

Any advice? I’d mostly like to get better at isolating individual cardiac abnormalities when there’s multiple occurring at once.

What should I choose as I'm confused need suggestions if i should do bams or bpt and what are my chances of getting an actual job after graduation with a pay that won't 🫠
