Are there Emergency Tech positions in NJ?

Sorry I know this isn't exactly related but I figure many people here work in hospitals and would be able to advise me. I am trying to become a P.A. and get my direct-care experience and on a lot of P.A. forums they say being an EMT/Emergency Room Tech is the best way to go in terms of exposure and experience. However I can never find any job postings for emergency tech's in NJ! Is this just not a common position in this area of the country? I would be an EMT and probably will get my EMT-B training in the next 6 months but unfortunately most EMTs are volunteer around here and I need a way to support myself. Also EMTs spend a lot of time waiting around for calls.

Since this forum has a busy NJ forum I hoped posting here might get me some answers. I thought about nursing for a while too....I think I just need to get into the healthcare field and get a lot more exposure to all the mid-level care opportunities out there!
