Just a college student here wondering if this is the career I'm looking for, any advice/help would be much appreciated!

I'm in my first year of college and I'm planning on changing my career for next semester in light of recent events involving money issues for anything more than a bachelors degree. I just wanted to know if you like/love your job, how the hours are, and how well the pay is. I live in a small town where I know we have volunteer firefighters and a small hospital, but I might move to Houston, TX once I get my degree.

Edit I forgot to mention that I was interested in being a paramedic... Silly me.
