    I can tell you this much. I graduated from college as a Medical Assistant in '86 back then and today the doctors were hiring off the street and paying minimum wage. They did not want to pay what a Medical Assistant is worth. In some states you do not have to be certified to be a Medical Assistant. The pay is not much more than minimum wage. If your friend was smart she would continue her education and just become a nurse, either an LPN or an RN.
