| Posted about 5 years ago I am currently in the financial field, and have always had a love of all things medical. If I had to do it over, I think I would have tried to become a doctor. The field and the economy being what it is, plus I have a 5 year old wonderful son to think about, I decided to get certified. I am going for medical assistant first to help me with my organization skills and get into the field (going to school currently for this) and will go to a nursing program after. :) |
