Re: whats started such a low pay trend?

I have noticed that the only thing besides experience that helps you get more money is being certified. A certified MA can make more than a MA that is not. A nurse makes so much more and you learn a lot more in school. Even if a MA that has an associate degree in Medical Assisting goes back to school to be a nurse, they still have to take a lot of clinical classes and classes on how to recognize different signs of disease.

Your Professional Title/Credentials: CCMA
