Thinking of being a chef or emt/paramedic and wondering the chances of oversea employment in the future.?
If you can send any info on the success rate that would come from one of these jobs. Open to other job titles to study also. Thanks!
I do not know any languages at the moment but am interested in studying multiple languages hopefully
An EMT (Known in most places as an EMT-B) only makes about $12.00 an hour. They get a dollar more if they get qualified to drive. But because you work a 24 shift and can sleep between calls, you can work three shifts a week and make half your income while sleeping. Paramedics (an EMT-P) have to study a fair bit longer and they do make a fair bit more per hour.
Each rig will have at least one EMT-B/driver and one Paramedic. There may sometimes be an additional EMT-B on the crew
.
A chef will make about the same to start but if you are good you can rise to a fair bit higher income. However, you will be working in a hot kitchen and you will be working mainly evening shifts. You will not be able to see your friends or family that much.

Odd as it may seem, the learning curve and requirements for becoming a chef is longer than for being a paramedic. If you’re interested in overseas employment, certification and language requirements for providing medical care are certainly different, especially since saving lives are at stake. So if you’re true goal is working overseas, and you’re positive these are the only two professions you’re interested in pursuing, then you really need to examine whether you’re willing in put in the time. discipline, energy, dedication (and money) it’ll take for training in the food industry. But once you are recognized as a chef, you can go anywhere.

My daughter, as part of doing her theses got an EMT-B license and has found that there is tons of work available. She just started grad school at the end of August and will likely do her first shift in the KY/WV border area by the end of the week. No trouble finding a job. Just waiting for a KY endorsement on her national license.
