EMT and Paramedic average wages by state for 2002:

I live in the state with the second highest average. Worst places to be. :)
Incidentally, as of 2003, a firefighter/EMT in a local city would have made almost what I do currently.
See, not completely hopeless. There's also a chance of me taking a part time tech job and perhaps taking a part time EMT job. It would increase the number of hours I work, but decrease the number I spend in a job I can't stand.
I've got one bite on my resume already, and while it's for contract work, I'm happy to give contract work a run if it's less crap to deal with and if they'll pay me the same. I highly doubt they will (contract work in my field isn't paying great these days), but I can always set my expectations with them and see what they say.
