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?
