Watch the WANT ads in your local paper or visit your nearest unemployment office and see what M.A. jobs are listed and apply.

You could go the AMT or AAMA websites and see what you need to do for recertification.

How long does one have to be out of the profession before they need re-certified? It's only been 6 years since they last worked in the field---just wondering

Through AAMA one has to be recertified every 5 years- or earn enough continuing education credits to be exempt from the exam. I am certified through AMT and have to pay dues to receieve good standings each year.

Re: I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT GETTING BACK IN THE MA FIELD

My certification in california lasts five years. I am not due until about july 2007, but I already have about 5 times as many CEU's I need from taking pre-nursing courses so I will re-cert early, but I still will not have to re-cert again until five years from july 07. I supose it depends state to state and which way you certified. I know some people cert nationally, I a not sure how long those last.
