    MS4 (almost done thank goodness!) - I was a Unit secretary before med school

    MS? Man, that's a hard rate to gain rank in.*

    I was a medical assistant until I was spending more in daycare than I was making. I worked in internal med. and loved all my pt's. Can't wait to get back to it!!

    Great field but highly competitive- meaning it's hard to land a job. Lots of opportunities with electronic medical records/health informatics/IT type positions opening up but still pretty competitive. At least that's how it is in Florida.

    Medical Assistant, But I stay home with my little right now. She starts school this fall and since the area I moved to will only hire bilingual MA's I am debating going back to school but haven't decided what I want to do.
