The Medical Assisting field can make it hard to find a job because the industry is saturated. It is hard to find a job right now for everyone, new nurses are having a hard time too, some have been graduated over a year and still do not have a job. If you want to become a medical assistant then come a medical assistant, you will eventually get a job. People complain about other things about being a medical assistant, usually pay. I would recommend full researching about medical assistants, specifically in your area: call offices and tell them you are considering a career as a medical assistant, ask them what they usually hire a new medical assistant at, what their turn over rate is, ect; even go as far as to ask if you could talk to one of their medical assistants or if you could shadow a medical assistant for a few days to see what the job is really like. A lot of people to to school to do something they think they will like and then discover later; after months or years of school and debt, that they really do not like the job.
