job as a medical assistant

Looking For A Second Job?
Now that US is experiencing recession, let us admit that yes everybody is affected. In fact, it has a big blow in our economy since some of our Overseas Filipino Workers opted to go home. What a bad timing isn’t it, especially that Christmas is almost near.
Last night, I had a chance to chat with my friend’s sister who is based in California. She told me that she is now preparing to take online classes for
medical assistant. Though there are medical assistant schools to choose from over the net, she would like at least to decide the finest school and has most of hospital accreditations. And of course, she needs to take into account the fees too. Good thing about this is she is not losing hope and even looking at the positive side of life. In fact, she is even grateful cause having a degree in medical assistance could even bring her to different places. And why not?
I just wonder if my future mother and father-in-laws are considering
medical assistant as their second job in the US. Since they are based in Iowa, I am pretty sure that only a few people are taking lessons on this. I’ll try to check out with my husband-to-be about their other plans. Entire medical assistant blog: http://honeysinlove.blogspot.com/2008/10/looking-for-second-job.html
