Joking aside, go for it and well done you for thinking about a decent career.
Just be aware that with all the cutbacks going on there may not be as many positions available. Why not go to your nearest Careers Information Office and ask them?
MERT is definately an eye opener and would allow you to gain a vast amount of experience in serious trauma situations.
Good luck and if you do get in within the next 2 years i am not ever going to call you "sir"!
