Hi I'm Phoenix, a 35 year old single woman who is rebuilding her life. I have been out of work for years due to depression and hard ship but things are better now. I plan on getting my ma training at a community adult school in los angeles. I tried private school but quit because of hardships or I couldn't make payments after financial aid. I currently do security work which is tollerable but I want better for myself. I was worried about finding work because of an unstable work history and a resume that has some film exp.. I also have a chronic cough due to post nasal drip. I think it's sinus copd, or something. I never smoked. went to dr. but got poor results due to lack of good health insurance. I don't have tb or anything. would anyof this keep me from working?

Medical Assistant schools require a physical before you start the clinical portion of your program. If they were concerned at that point about the possibility that it would affect your patient care; it would be addressed then.

As far as an unstable work history, maybe you could talk to a job coach or staffing agency recruiter, as to how you could develop your resume. If your current job has been long-term, that should help.
