Flight medic is when we call them in England
Though Life Flight Paramedic sounds cooler XD

Much thanks on that Jazzy! Would this require you to be out of the state and in other states? Or other wise?
Sorry if I'm being nosy, just curious on how this will change things. If at all.
Ground Paramedics (which is one who only responds via ambulance) are a dime a dozen. Flight Paramedics (which only respond via air/helicopter) are scarce. My salary right now would double when I become a flight Paramedic and my chances of relocating (not that I'm planning that right now) would also double in finding employment. Notice I said when I become a flight Paramedic and not if...it's going to happen as it's only a matter of time.
You want my honest opinion? Honestly your dreams are very important, the most important actually, you have the right to live your dream and to happy. Who doesn't want to achieve their dreams?
And in my opinion if your boyfriend really loved and cared about you he would understand that this is your dream and that this means a lot to you. Sure it sucks that he can't see you but he should want to see you happy more than anything even if it means giving up a week to go see him to go do the Seminar. Honestly this is your life and your dream do what you like, he shouldn't want to stop you from doing that if anything he should be proud that you're that determined to get what you want and that hard working that you'll do anything to get it.
Congrats Jazzy on making the right decision because honestly he should have been there for you and supported you to live your dream not make you pick. You should NEVER have to pick between someone and your dream. Plus now you're step closer to living your dream! I'm proud and happy for you! Keep us uptdated please =)

No, I would not be required to go all over the United States. That would, however, be pretty cool. Most major cities in the United States have a trauma center. Trauma centers are where many people are transported when their injuries are critical and cannot wait to be transfered from a scene via ground. The time is would take to transport via ground compared to flight many times has saved lives. A helicopter can travel much faster (any day) than a ground ambulance.

i think you were right and he was wrong............the whole thing about a relationship is supporting each other.............my ex (and we were together 16 years) wanted to get a qualification in something.....only way of doing it was at 'night school'..........2 nights a week for 2 years, plus loads of homework.......cost a fortune too that at the time we struggled to afford, but we did cos it was her dream...and i supported her in doing it......i actually enjoyed helping her do it, learnt hell of a lot myself (once she was really ill with flu but had to get an assignment done but just wasnt up to it, so i did it for her
.....managed to get a B+ for it too lol)..........if he wasnt prepared to support you now what do you think would happen down the line if you suddenly got the offer of a job where you had to move?......and he didnt?...would you have passed on that job?...dont think so!....sorry but he sounds selfish that he wasnt prepared to put himself out for a while
chase that dream, jazzy....and be happy when you catch it

What a wonderful thing you did for your ex beowulf. That's all I wanted was support and understanding. I'm glad I found out now his true colors before it was too late and I found myself in divorce court.
Thank you for your kind words along with your support as well.
I'm a firm believer that the only one who fails at achieving their dream, is the person who allowed another to take that dream away. That is never going to happen to me.

I agree with that as well! If he really loved you and supported you he would have understood, he would have also understood how important this is to you and accepted that this is what you want.
You'll find a man who will love you no matter what you decide to do with your life, because you're in charge of your life and he should respect your choices and be behind you 24/7. Even if he doesn't agree with your choice, he should still be there to support you and give you the encouragement and the help you need.
