For 2010, median salary for an EMT or paramedic was $30,360 annually. With only a formal training course needed and no baccalaureate or higher college degree required, entry into the ambulance driver EMT or paramedic field is relatively open.
First, you need to become an EMT, which is typically a six month course. EMT certification requires that you be at least 18 years of age, in reasonably good physical shape, and have a high school diploma or GED. Once you become an EMT, paramedic training is typically another 18 months to two years, and 2 and 4 year college degree programs are becoming increasingly common.
