It may have been a little of an exaggeration but I believe the EMT starting wage is around 26$ an hour so it maybe not be more but its close!

No worries dude, I really don't want to see you pay check but bottom line is EMTs make more than bus drivers, that's all I was pointing out. Not trying to debate political garbage that I really don't care about. We can all compare our salaries to a lot of people and quickly become frustrated with the assumption we're under paid. All this information is published and we all make our own beds.
Also my understanding is most EMTs are just technicians and not actual paramedics and there's big difference between the two which could explain why EMT starting wages aren't great.
