I live in Michigan and I am very interested in going to school to become a Medical Office Specialist. But I don’t want to waste my time or money going into a field that I am going to have a difficult time finding a job in once I am finished. I’ve been comtemplating on going to school to become a Medical Assistant instead because at least that is a common field and is probably not as difficult to get a job in once finished with the program although my heart is really into becoming a Medical Office Specialist , i don’t want to go into that field if I am going to have a difficult time finding employment once I am finished. Can someone please offer me some advice on what I should do?

I want to make a choice but don’t know which training program to choose.
Phlebotomy is taking blood.Ekg is putting the elctrodes on people to check their heart.
Medical Assistant has that training too, but it’s not as deep. The Medical Assitant training is more office oriented.( and longer school).
The medical world will always need these professions, I am just having a hard time deciding.
Here in NJ, we have a combination program for both EKG technitians and Phlebotomists.
micha, you have to go 4 yrs in NJ to be an RN.
They have 1yr and 18 month programs for LPN. I do not want to be a nurse. I don’t think I am smart enough, I have looked at the materials.
