what do you regret.?
Is it worth the $30/hr, if you had the opportunity to do something else, would you take it , what would you have done (like be a lawyer). i can't decide between this and being a lawyer. I love both things a lot. I wanna hear someone else's perspective.

I regret not coming to my current service earlier. I came here when I was a 12 year medic. Full disclosure: I wouldnt have been ready to work in this system for a good five years or so into my career..
That said, I'm now making $52/hour with fantastic benefits and a ton of time off in a great system.
Three or four years sooner would have gotten me a better pension but at least I have one.
