how much money do you make starting out as a paramedic
A paramedic in New York City can earn just over $37,000 as a base salary. The base salary does not include overtime and other benefits. Also, your base salary increases on an annual basis. The median in the U.S. is $36,950.
In Texas the hourly pay tends to be better, but most of the private services here in San Antonio work 12 hour shifts and not 24's, so not as much overtime. Our military civilian paramedics make about $22 an hour on base to start.
