Question

Hello, I am starting a two year degree program for medical assisitng next month. How is the two year degree different from the one year certificate?

Do you feel you would make more if you had the degree?

Thanks,
Missy

Re: Question

Most employers look only at the fact that you are certified-not whether or not you have an AA degree.
I went to a JC so I could I could transfer some credits for my BSN. But beware-far less transfers than you often think.
