“It was a drastic change from typing away in a cubicle to responding to gunshot wounds and cardiac arrests… I used to be in a dead-end job. But thanks to the stimulus, I now have a great job with FDNY, and I can envision a long and successful career here. I hope to become a paramedic and eventually move up the chain of command to become a high-ranking officer.”
