EMT / Paramedic
EMT/Paramedics tend to patients who need medical care in emergency situations, usually before they reach the hospital. They respond to calls, perform emergency medical treatments, and ensure each patient is safely transported to the hospital. Becoming an EMT means that an individual has reached the highest level of emergency medical training available.

Horry-Georgetown Technical College
ROI was very important to me. HGTC has provided me with a 2.5-year college degree for a very minimal investment. Job prospects in my industry are great, which puts me in a position to repay student loans quickly so I’m not still digging out from debt a decade down the road. I will be in a much better financial position without all the debt I would have incurred had I opted to go back to a four-year college.
