I was AMAZED at how little this job paid....I know that the pay scale for Florida is much lower than my previous place (Virginia)...but again surprised.

Was it for a Villages employee *or* someone with Rural/Metro or one of the other ambulance services? Given that R/M is in financial problems, I would not be surprised at them paying employees very little. Of course, that hasn't lowered the fees that they charge patients.
