I'm not looking for a job, but I am sort of planning my trip a year or two in advance. Just thinking things out. My second major was Russian language, but I was never able to make it to Russia, so I'm absolutely not fluent. I'd like to travel around Russia for a few months, get a foundation of language going, and eventually look for a job. The job I have in mind is a paramedic, but I have no idea what those are like in Russia. I know nothing of their regulations, or if they're all that common in smaller cities and towns. Would it even be possible for a foreigner to grab such a job? (Mind you, I'm already trained and have qualified under US national standards.)

It is not problem in Russia, because nobody wants to work as a paramedic. Wages = about 100 dollars per month, in Moscow - till 200 dollars. VERY hard work and risk.
