  • Answer:

    I'm a medical assistant with a bachelors of science degree. it doesn't matter this is not a degree program only a certificate. you make the same as everyone else. only senority matters with pay rate. depending on where you live you will only make between $7-13 an hour. its the same pay that laboratory techs, home health aides, nursing aides, and patient technicians make. your degree even if its in medicine or science such as mine are won't make a bit of difference except it will make more eligable for hire. and maybe you will start with more pay but the pay range is the same. someone with more experience than you but no college education will make the same starting pay as you and have just as much likely to get hire. don't be fooled Medical assiting is not an associates degree program, i went to ross medical which is just a technical school to get my MA assitant certificate. in just 6 -8 weeks. or maybe it was 12 weeks either way it didn't take two years.

Why get an associates degree in medical assistant when you can just get an associates degree in nursing and make twice as much money as a nurse than as a medical assistant.

They make the same as a MA without one. However if you are doing this to pursue a bachelors, keep up the work, however as dobby stated this is a certificate program and this usually takes less than 9mths to receive.
