Medical Assisting is it a good field to go into?
I have actually heard that there are not too many job openings for medical assistants (or medical billing and coding). There are so many training programs out there thus that many more graduates looking for employment. If you really would like to get training as an MA, perhaps you can attend a lesser expensive program (as opposed to those private schools) such as one offered thru the local community college (perhaps a non-credit course) or county vo-tech school. At least one will most likely not be in debt trying to repay school loans while struggling to look for work or a related job, know what I mean. And please refrain from those 'online schools' such as penn foster and stratford career institute as they are not seen as reputable to employers.

Here is a website to search different careers: US Occupational Outlook Handbook www.bls.gov/oco and can type into search 'medical assistant' or whichever other careers pique one's interest. Good luck!
Yes, but the pay is crap. Is that where you want to stop (as in goal) at or just doing it in the mean time?
