Question

I am unsure of what to pursue next. I just finished getting Nationally EMT certified and my goal is to be a firefighter! However I need money now and it’s not going to be easy getting a job at a hospital until I become a firefighter. So I am not sure where to go from here.

Check your local fire stations.  Many hire EMTs to man the fire trucks.  This will allow you to learn about firefighting and continue to your goals.  Also see about becoming a volunteer firefighter.  Also check with local ambulance companies and see about putting the EMT skills to use while earning money.  I think you will find the hours may be comparable to what a firefighter works.

In a rural setting?  Check with the local fire department.  Or, if available, an ambulance service.  Does Uber still have its special transportation services for medical patients?

Where did you do your EMT training? Do they have Job Placement assistance? I understand you want to go further in your career but you can use your training and employment as an EMT as a building block to get to your long term goal as a firefighter. Thank you in advance for your service - only the most brave and dedicated people choose to serve  our communities this way.
