Good call getting your EMT cert though. Like I said, if nothing else you will have a good 'backup' skill to market and it's not like you've invested 6 years and thousands of dollars if you don't wind up liking it.
Plus I'm convinced that if you are able to do well in EMS, you handle overall life stress much better. Not even trying to play the 'Ive seen some shit' meme, just the crap you deal with and periods of job stress put every other life dilemma in perspective. You'll be telling all your crybaby family members to quit stressing the fuck out over small stuff that doesn't even matter to you anymore, because on your last shift you were up a muddy, about-to-wash-out rural road dealing with some drunk crazy guy who just burned his hands on his wood stove and seems like the sort prone to domestic violence, with a transfer pending and you didn't get dinner and you're already signed up for another 24 hours of overtime with the next day's shift. So no, Misty, I don't see how your doctor's suggestion to change your kids diet is justification for this fucking midlife crisis just because you have to cook something without potatoes or fucking rice in it. Good grief, use a search engine, fuck.
And stuff like that. You'll also probably curse more at the dinner table, and when everyone tells work stories, you are guaranteed to have their attention when you start talking about poop, cellulitis, and having flaky skin all over you after lift assists.
