Ambulance technicians salary

Firstly, if you are referring to care providers, there is no "ambulance technition." Also, there is no "ambulance driver," so don't mention that :-) The correct terms are EMT, Paramedic (which is an advanced EMT), or prehospital provider. Salaries vary depending on location. West coast employers pay more for prehospital providers than east coast, because there are fewer experienced responders. The average salary on the west coast (my location) is around $26,000-30,000 per year. I have seen some employers pay $36,000 for more experienced EMT-Basics. There are salary surveys done annually by the magazines EMS Responder and JEMS; you may want to consider researching there for the most updated information. When you start getting to higher levels, such as paramedic, you can expect beginning salaries around $46,000 on the west coast. So it's not doctor's or nurse's wages, but it is enough to survive and save lives on. Secondly, if you meant the proper definition of "ambulance technician" which would be a mechanic, you're in the wrong cataegory :)
