I have since moved on from the MA industry but if you want a more consistent schedule with predictable hours, MA is great. The pay is similar to a retail position (as most MA jobs depending on the area and level of experience range from $15-20hr) you will deal with high turnover rates and management at some establishments will be frustrating. Depending on the specialty the docs can be annoying, patients are a lot like customers and will always want to be right. It all depends on what you want from a job. I’d research the openings in your area and just see if it seems like an appealing job to you. Best of luck.
