My good friend is a medical assistant and she just loves it! She decided oto go into this field and career after her child started school. She was bored and really wanted to work but wanted a career so she checked out the medical assistant training schools in her area and signed up and now she is a medical assistant and could not be happier. She use to be a waitress and she just hated to do that every night! She loves what she does and it is a career where she could advance in as well. My sister started out as a medical assistant, then she became a phlebotomist and now she is going to school for xray technician. She just loves the medical field…that is her thing. She never wanted to become a nurse or doctor though.
