We Don’t Need No Education

You read that right, Pink Floyd drops a double negative and we’re all over it!

Fire and EMS expert, Justin, brings to our Law Enforcement and Traffic expert, Jason, a position paper calling for Paramedic programs to meet the same requirements as an Associates Degree.   Spoiler alert, both your hosts hold at least a Bachelor’s Degree with MC having completed Master Instructor.  The guys are 100% FOR more education at every possible opportunity.

Here’s the talking points:

  • But should 2 years of college study be required to become a Cop?
  • Will classes in History, English and Math help a Firefighter fight fires?
  • Shouldn’t Paramedics be judged by their desire to help others rather than their grades in an elective that has nothing to do with helping others?

And what does a quote from Reservoir Dogs have to do with being a good instructor?

Their answers may surprise you.  Should serving in the three disciplines as a first responder require some background basic education or are the guys OK with you having the heart and desire straight out of High School?
