25th year of EMS  

so you made 6-700k at the regionals in 10 years. if you were a helicopter pilot in those ten years, you might have made a million. so you are "behind" 300-400k. in 2-3 years, you will have closed the gap. in 10 years, you will make over 3 mil. unless you want to bustass flying ag, you will make 3 times the average helicopter pilot. it takes longer to get there but over a career, you will still make 2-3 times what a helicopter pilot makes. why is this so hard to understand? because some people don't want to understand. and no matter what, buy a home you can pay for when a furlough comes. if you make that kind of money and can't plan enough to survive a 6-12 month furlough, you are an idiot that deserves to go broke.
