B.C. health authority posts hundreds of job openings for paramedics after months of shortages

I'm not missing any of that, you're original complaint was you didn't get hired despite failing the training.

I've been in the ambulance service for 20 years. I've never worked for $2 an hour. You're describing one single track through the ambulance service. People are getting hired today full time to downtown Vancouver, provided they can pass the training.

You understanding you will only make $2 in the station youre after and then dumping 7k twice on the training says more about you than the job.

I'd also like to add the $2 an hour is a standby stippend, not a wage. You're not at work, you're not expected to do anything. You could be working a second job or watching your kids at home. It's designed to support people in small communities who might do 2-4 calls a week and want to be doing something else in the mean time. Anywhere in BC with significant call volume dosent use the $2 an hour system.
