Janet Said:

Which is a better career field Medical Assistant or Medical Office Specialist?

We Answered:

I would say neither. With either of those occupations you would be making barely more than someone who didn't have vocational training and is working at a clothing store or a restaurant. It isn't worth it. You can get two year degrees that make you 50,000 a year. instead of 30,000. Which is about what both of those occupations make.

Check into these medical occupations that are the same amount of schooling and make much more money. Occupational therapist assistant, physical therapist assistant, radiology technician, sonographer, respiratory therapist or respiratory therapist technician.
