Min wage in my state is 8.00 but our cost of living is way higher. Never settle for min wage as a medical assistant. Start calling all the offices in your area and ask if they are hiring and ask for their fax number. Send in a resume even if they are not hiring. Call back in a few days and ask to speak with the office manager; ask her/him if she/he got a chance to look over your resume and that you would love to meet with them and discuss some of your qualifications. You always have to be proactive when job hunting...these days it is imperative!

You dont have to "settle" but i think when a job is offered even at minimum wage with the economy the way it is its a blessing.

the more experienced Medical assistant will always find a higher paying/better job.

I think now a days with the economy the way it is min wage is better than no wage, yes i agree the pay is low but I have to accept any job that comes, and when the economy improves you can ask for more pay as long as your experience warrents it.

thnaks for all the advice ill keep you posted
