A note of caution from the Forum Admin:
The above is an non-approved posting of a website that we have not reviewed, nor sanctioned. We generally do not like to see website URLs posted without approval since we really do not know, nor have any control over who the poster is. It could be a student, recruiter, faculty of a school, or could be disguised link SPAM from the owner of the site, posing as a satisfied customer, or student. We just really don't know!!!!!

While we cannot prevent anyone from posting an unapproved link to a for profit website, we do frown upon it and monitor further behaviors. We are a respected forum and we have remained SPAM free for years - a rarely accomplished task only very few forums can pride themselves in. Anyone who SPAMs this forum, whether through obvious ads, or subliminal, disguised advertising will be banned. Furthermore, we caution our forum members and remind them to do thorough research before signing up for ANYTHING on the Web.

Please take the time to read most of the posts in this forum. This question has been asked time and time again and there are some really good responses from a number of people without me having to reiterate the RMA vs CMA issue. I am not trying to be rude, but there is a lot in this forum about this topic and I just wish everyone would take some time and read the previous posts. You are missing a LOT of good information.
Yes, it is true that some places want only CMA certified by AAMA. However, please read the post about this issue if you are having difficulty acquiring a job that wants only AAMA certified personnel. You will be surprised and pleased with the answer.

Which credential is better depends on which is more recognized in the area of the country in which you want to work. Too bad it's like that because it can make it difficult if you decide you want to move. They are both just entry level credentials, though, so if you move upgrading is an option.
