A:There are not supposed to be too many jobs for the medical assistant (or medical coder or biller) despite what private $$ schools claim :) If interested in any of those fields, please go with the county vo-tech school or community college (perhaps non-credit course) provided that they are accredited within the industry as they are usually more affordable. General career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and search pharmacy technicians, radiologic technologists, massage therapists (very physical job, just fyi :) or such. Please also steer clear of online, for-profit schools such as penn foster, stratford career, university of phoenix, strayer: http://www.uopsucks.com http://www.ripoffreport.com and type into search.

A:phlebotomy. That way you wont be stuck in an office all day and if you ever decide to go back to school and be a RN you will have some more practical experience under your belt. Good Luck!

A:Perhaps talking with a student advisor at the college that one would like to attend can help. I would just caution one about enrolling in an online, for-profit school such as penn foster, university of phoenix, strayer, kaplan and others as they are merely out to 'make a profit': http://www.uopsucks.com There are not supposed to be too many jobs for the medical assistant, medical biller or coder despite what private $$ schools proclaim. For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'health services managers', 'public relations specialists' or such. For US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ

A:After college, my first "real" careers was as an adminstrator w/ a company that got contracts in nursing homes. The pay was okay but they offered wonderful flex time. I was able to set my own schedule! Assisted living facilities can become very depresssing though so be forewarned! You might want to also consider like rehab (physical therapy not drug & alcohol facilities, larger private doctor practices, or hospitals). That would give you mixed clients and avoid being surrounded by sometimes forgotten elderly individuals. Also, keep in mind that, if working in a nursing type facility, you'll have other supervisors to deal with and that can be frustrating (maintenance, housekeeping & laundry, dietary & kitchen, etc).
