Finish my CNA class September 2nd . I am interested in taking ma classes, do medical assistants get hired in hospitals ??

Thanks for the advice TheCommuter! I have noticed there are just about as many MA jobs here as there are CNA jobs (which is not many for both) and they pay between 12-14 an hour instead of 9-10 an hour. However all the shifts are 8-4 or 9-5 instead of the AM shift starting at 5 or 6. I did read that you do not have to be certified to work as a MA in Cali but some companies may require it. I'm going to go ahead and apply to the MA jobs here that don't mention certification is required in the ad posting and see if anyone has me for an interview, it can't hurt right? Since the class is free since I can get a grant I will plan to take it if I can't find a job before January!
