Is Medical Assisting Worth Going to School for?

Is Medical Assisting a job worth going to 9 months of school for?

  • I guess what Im asking is the pay worth paying for some schooling worth it?

  • Answer:

    I would say NO cause I went for only 6 months and paid around almost 8,000 or more dollars. I could have spent around 4,000 or less money at a community college and have an associates degree right now. They treat you like crap when you work and the pay is not that great. 15 if your lucky and less. I guess it depends on the school you go to and how much they charge. But I would say the 2 years or even 4 years of school is way better.

My sister became a medical assistant, she graduated in May and hasn't found a job yet. They are not in demand that much especially if you don't have any real experience besides your externship.... Good Luck !!!

I have heard that there are not too many jobs for the MA (and medical biller and coder) as well. If really wanting to get the training, like the other postee mentioned, better to go to a lesser expensive school such as the county vo-tech school or community college (perhaps non-credit course) so that one is not so in debt while having difficulty looking for employement. For US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ For career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and search 'medical assistant' or any other career that piques one's interest.
