I need a cheap alarm system that will get the job done
Yes and no. No it does not require alot of education to be legally cerified, but it does to be a good firefighter/EMT. You definately need to not only have classroom time, but REAL experience on an ambulance/engine. When you go through EMT class you will learn that there is a book and street way to do something. With both, you are protecting your own life and that of others. If you want to just get out of class and get a career job, you're crazy, you're gonna need real life experience.
Can you use two paper clips? I can do it with two paper clips. Maybe if you're just really creative with how you bend it. Check the photos I linked. Just make sure to use a few layers of paper at each of the contact points of the paperclip so it doesn't tear through. Attach the rubberband to the shorter end of the large paper clip and then tie it through the small hole on the base. Hope it works out for you!
