Maybe. Not real sure. Loved watching fire trucks and ambulances race down the road when I was a child. Always wanted to go see where they were going.
My first time in an ambulance, I don't remember. I was getting my life saved because of a stupid mistake. When I woke up in the ICU several days later and found out what happened... I thanked the doctor. He told me I needed to thank the paramedics. I never did.
When I got out of high school and life started to mean something to me(because I finally stopped walking around with the excessive amount of cocaine up my nostrils) I remembered about how I almost died. Then I started getting curious.
8 years later.... here I am. I'm not saying I actually decided to be a paramedic because of one certain event but I am very happy about where my journey has taken me. There are times at work when I feel more "high" than I ever felt with an illegal substance in my body. I see things on a regular basis that make sense out of everything I was so angry about when growing up. When I became a paramedic- I saved myself.

Not at all. I dont think I really have "a calling" for any particular profession.
I ended up working in mental health because I was a Chem major and that didnt sit well with my partying and slacking lifestyle in college - so I switched to something easier which would allow me the flexibility in my schedule to skip classes and still get decent grades and also not have to spend much time out of class on studying and class work etc so that I could be drunk or napping instead

I have a calling to a position but not a calling to my job. I have a need to feel in control or in charge. I am better at lettin a little go now but still. I am good in that type of a position IMO because I respect it and people but when people on my team is disrespected by the people we hire or they are trying to take control I have to pull out the trump card. I was kind of a jerk about it in my younger years until I learned to get rid of what I learned in the military to lead. That does not work in the real world. Respet for people gets respect from people and that is the ONLY thing that works in the real world to lead people and you know what. treating people the way yor want to be treated is ten times easier cause then they want to work for you!!
