James Said:

how do i get certified to be a clinical medical assistant or a pharmacy tech?

We Answered:

Coincidentally, I just went to the local technical college today to look at jobs in the health care field They do some certification testing there for both medical assisting and pharmacy tech. So, you may want to check w/ your local tech school (or whatever they call that type of school in your areas).

Certified Dental Assistant/Applied Business Tech/ Pharmacy Tech- Which is a better career option?

We Answered:

Not to sound stuck up but the options you've chosen and the hours you want to work (under 25 hrs), I wouldn't consider a "career." The pay for these is AT BEST under $15 an hour and that's usually with years of experience. In terms of financial stability, working full time you MIGHT be able to make ends meet. It really just depends on what kind of life you want to live. Good luck.

Good career move for me? B.S. Chemical Engineering - Pharmacy, Physicians Assistant, or more chem engineering?

We Answered:

You're looking at a very wide array of fields, but luckily all of them are in high demand. Being a P.A. seems to be the most different from your education/career and the other possible professions. You really need to look at what you like or dislike about your own job and see how it relates to the other jobs. Do you like working with the public? (PA, Pharm) Do you mind doing LOTS of paper work and making tons of phone calls? (Pharm) Are you willing to be on call and having a lot of legal responsibility? (PA) Do you enjoy working in the lab and all its glory? (engineering)

I feel like being a pharmacist is pretty self-explanatory. Fill prescriptions, cross check medications, prepare medications (more in hospitals)

You should try to get some first hand experience working with patients before you jump in PA school. Working with patients all day is much different than the average person thinks.

You have a much better idea of what being an engineer is than I do.

Which would make a better career? Pharmacy Technician or Dental Assistant?

We Answered:

Pharmacy technician jobs provide stability in terms of income. Nowadays, their services are more and more needed by pharmacists. And also, you just have to pass the pharmacy technician certification examination to become one.
