Jim,
I would like to let your readers know that there is an opportunity for them to get free medical training in there community, I have just done this and am working on going further. I joined a volunteer fire department (VFD). No, not everyone has to fight fires, in our department only 10% do. In my area we have a mandatory three hours per month that we have to be at the station and [respond to] any calls that come up. So out of this we all get free EMT training and they actually pay us to go do this, there are also different types of training that we can also take but for me this is the best we can go all the way to EMT paramedic. Try that in college, [paying for your own tuition]. In addition to the training you will meet some of the nicest people ever, so check it out it might be a good way for you to get some great training. And sometimes you even get to drive a big red fire truck. Best Regards, – ElectroMech
