Medical Office Administration or Medical Assistant? I am trying to decide to go to school for Medical Assistant or for Medical Office Administration. There is a two year waiting period for nursing as well as physical therapist assistant and many other programs at the local colleges. The two programs that I can get into are Medical Office Administration and Medical Assistant The school offers a 12 month class for Medical Office Administration and a 16 month class for Medical Assistant. Neither one offers a degree but a Certificate. This is an accredited College that is available for Pell Grants from FASFA. Brookstone College of Business in Greensboro North Carolina and it's not a cheap school at $16,800 for Medical Assistant $12,000 for Medical Office Administration There is also an internship near the end of the school program. and a job placement specialist and so far all of their graduates have all got jobs. Right now I am just trying to choose between the two. The person I spoke with at the school told me that Medical Assistant's make more money, and men in the field are in high demand. The problem is that everything I see online tells me that Medical Office Administration makes more money. I have searched Salary.com and a few other places. Has anyone here worked at either, or know someone who has. I am not planning on doing any additional education years later to become a nurse or anything so whatever I choose would be a the career path I go into. My questions are these 1) Which position makes more money? 2) Which position would be easier to get? 3) What is a typical day like for these two positions?

How can I get an online job that is not selling? I really need an online job. It is so stressful for me to go to work. My blood pressure has gone up from 147/90 to 168/109. I have to work but everytime I get a job there is always "someone" that gives me a hard time, or I should say "hates me". I can't deal with the ridiculousness of "office politics". I am a good worker, always on time, I don't fool around, very dependable, which I have been told in almost every job I have ever had. But for some reason because of the "bulliness" of the so called "office routine", or better known as "office politics" I am just not getting anywhere. I am just so stressed out. It seems like there is always someone looking for every little, tiny, mistake or flaw I may have to bully me. I don't know what to do, I have to work, but the office "bulliness" is going to kill me. Does anyone know of an online job that does not deal with selling. Medical transcription or appointment setting. Please help me. Please. Thanks all of you for all your great answers. It will take me a bit to investigate.
