minus-squareChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·10 months agoEMT; I’ve heard that I’m about to get a raise to $17/hr but I think it may just be a carrot to keep me there (currently make $16).
minus-squarebrygphilomena@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·10 months agoIt’s so fucked. I know there are different levels, but the McDonald’s out here in California starts at $20/hr.
minus-squareChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 months agoYep, I could walk into a McDonald’s here and earn at least the same depending on the position. I knew that going into it though.
minus-squaregrasshopper_mouse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·10 months agoThis right here. I took an EMT course at the local community college in 1999, then learned that the pay was minimum wage. Never got a job as an EMT because I needed more money to live.

minus-squareMonkeMischief@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up3·10 months ago$50 per call but you can bet the patient is being billed $5k minimum for the ride, probably pocketed by insurance agencies or the hospital execs. I can’t understand how people are EMTs and why there haven’t been riots over this, but God bless them.
