Okay, before you ridicule me here, I ALREADY know that choosing english as a major is not gonna get me far, so I have to start planning a new career path for after I graduate with this degree.
My question is, do medical assistants make a lot of money? What courses/schools do they have to attend? And is the job flexible? Flexibility will be important to me, because I also want a job in the entertainment industry.

I am trying to decide to go to school for Medical Assistant or for Medical Office Administration.
There is a two year waiting period for nursing as well as physical therapist assistant and many other programs at the local colleges.
The two programs that I can get into are
Medical Office Administration
and
Medical Assistant
The school offers a 12 month class for Medical Office Administration and a 16 month class for Medical Assistant.
Neither one offers a degree but a Certificate.
This is an accredited College that is available for Pell Grants from FASFA.
Brookstone College of Business in Greensboro North Carolina and it’s not a cheap school at
$16,800 for Medical Assistant
$12,000 for Medical Office Administration
There is also an internship near the end of the school program. and a job placement specialist and so far all of their graduates have all got jobs.
Right now I am just trying to choose between the two.
The person I spoke with at the school told me that Medical Assistant’s make more money, and men in the field are in high demand.
The problem is that everything I see online tells me that Medical Office Administration makes more money.
I have searched Salary.com and a few other places.
Has anyone here worked at either, or know someone who has.
I am not planning on doing any additional education years later to become a nurse or anything so whatever I choose would be a the career path I go into.
My questions are these
1) Which position makes more money?
2) Which position would be easier to get?
3) What is a typical day like for these two positions?
