What are some great careers in the medical field that?

What are some careers in the medical field that require an associates degree or less (will pick best answer)?

  • I am 18 recently graduated high school. Idk what I want to do with my life. I was considering dental assisting. But idk anymore. I have heard from several people they hate their jobs, the pay isn't that great, and it is hard to get health insurance. I have researched many jobs but I haven't found one I love or have a passion for. If someone could give me a website or a list of medical jobs that require an associates degree or less I would appreciate it. (I have looked into x-ray and ultrasound and both in my area accept 15 a year and it is very competitive, so I pretty much rule those out)

  • Answer:

    You can get an Associates degree in medical assiting or medical transcriptionist. You can train to be a phlebotomist (draw blood) without an Associates degree.

you've ruled out pretty much everything else that has a decent number of job openings and pays well

You just take your time and let yourself decide when you are good and ready,Having an associates degree more than likly means that you will be able to get a good job in due course.. Dont rush into anything.

there are medical tech colleges advertised on TV who apparently train people with just high school graduation in many fields of medical tech
