About half, actually. Paramedics generally love their jobs, but they are really not paid enough for what they do in my opinion.
Not defending or butthurt, we get this all the time. Lots of us guys get into trauma/ER nursing, emergency flight nursing, OR, etc. In the ER, it is about 50/50 guys and gals in most hospitals. Flight nursing is almost 100% guys. You wife would like 80k a year more than 40k, I would bet my life on it.
The face of nursing is changing. I am in the ICU. It is a great job. Very technical. I am considering going back to school to get my CRNA (cert. reg. nurse anesthesia). They START at 125K per year.
Anywho, off my soap box. Check with your academic adviser. I doubt if completing your major in poli-sci would be a benefit to you, and certainly not with any health major.. You can shift over without losing much time to a better program, or another school.
