Ambulance Dispatcher

            Ambulance Dispatcher
Duties and Responsibility:
Ambulance emergency dispatchers receive emergency calls by telephone, radio system, or computer-aided dispatch system. They question callers to obtain the information needed to determine an appropriate course of action. They also must create and maintain logs of calls received and prepare reports as necessary. Experienced dispatchers might assist in training new dispatchers.
Salary:
An ambulance dispatcher earns about  $36,000-$56,000 annually.
Education:
To become an ambulance dispatcher you must at least have a high school diploma. Ambulance dispatchers must also go through a training school where they are taught procedures such as CPR, intervention techniques, and ambulance route planning as well as computer systems used by dispatchers.

Reflection:

I would not like to be an ambulance dispatcher because they don’t get paid very well. Although they do save people’s lives, I believe that electronic engineering is much more of a hands on career. If anything I would rather be an ambulance driver because at least then I will be part of the action.
