Medical Assistant
Duties and Responsibilities: Medical assistants perform many administrative duties, including answering telephones, greeting patients, updating and filing patients' medical records, filling out insurance forms, handling correspondence, scheduling appointments, arranging for hospital admission and laboratory services, and handling billing
Salary: $13.30 per hour
Education: The minimum education for a medical assistant is a high school diploma. However, some states require training or examinations for those who do clinical work, and some employers prefer assistants with training or certification.

Reflection: I would not like to be a medical assistant. They don’t earn a lot of money and this is just not the field I want to work in.

Education: There are no formal education requirements for home health aides, but most aides have a high school diploma. Home health aides working in certified home health or hospice agencies must get formal training and pass a standardized test

I wouldn’t like to be a home health aide. This jobs looks very confusing and boring.
