Tygab, thanks for the info - I had already checked out those sites. I just let my first responder cert lapse because I never used it but they're always looking for emt's around here.


Cathy - the dog link looks cool, I'll check that out as well.

Beth - I'm single so the weekends and hours don't bother me. I desparately need to find something I am passionate about for a career for it to be satisfying for me.

Mimi - I am obviously aware I have a young son I can't just disappear on. That's why I'm researching this now, because I know I'd need training and perhaps even a different degree or experience to get there if I choose this route. Emergency management is now a 4 year degree! But I also strongly feel this is a growing field and I have the talent to handle these situations. What I'm lacking are the specific skills. And once his dad and l live near each other again it won't be a problem making sure he's being taken care of.

Anyone with any info on the emergency management part of it?
