Not an easy job to qualify in either as the standards are high, lot of burn outs and fatigue due to over work and thats led to extra drug testing of paramedics which hasnt gone down well.
The Government need to pay them better, provide more staff and look after their mental health too.
Good luck to your daughter, we need more young people wanting to be Paramedics and looking after the community.
The level of stress and violence also depends a lot on where you work, my Daughters friend works at Frankston and we have another contact who works at Dandenong and you earn your money in both those locations.
