Hi-I'm at Stillwater Medical Group, and am only making $14.60/hr after on year. Where do you work? $15.50 per hour is nice. I am thinking about looking towards a bigger clinic but am unsure which ones are the higher paying ones, do you have any idea? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Norm

Hey, I live in Buffalo,Ny. I will be going into the Medical Assistant program (2 YR. Associate in Applied Science Degree) at Trocaire College in the fall (switching major). I was told for the 2007 graduates, I think there were only maybe 10 max that 100% have full/part time positions in area medical group practices,clinics, or hospitals. Also, I was told average starting local salary is Hourly: $10.50-$14.00
Annual Rate: $21,000-$29,000. I hope this works out for the best. Im young but this will be my fourth semester (after taking 1 off). I wish everyone luck

I am answering for my wife, who isn't home right now, but it was about $10-12 to start when we were in Michigan. We just moved to Seattle, and most of the openings are starting at about $15-16. Granted the cost of living is higher here, by about 20%. That was for starting positions, with no experience. She has about 3 years of CNA style work, so they would start her at $16-17 per hour. She does have a 2 year associates degree from an accredited, real college that offers other degrees, BS degrees, and RN programs.

I work as fully time as a MA for a big company out here called Sutter and I get paid $19/hour with annual raises.
