My friend is an MA, she works in a dr's office now. Of course doesn't get payed much, the job sucks. The Dr acts like she's his little servant. She has worked for this dude for nearly 8 months, he can't see fit to give her a dollar /hr raise.She's saved his butt many a time,has covered his sorry butt when he can't see fit to show up to the office on time , etc... She want's a new job, are there any area's that any MA's have gone to besides Dr's offices. Seems most of those jobs suck. Low pay, long hours and little respect. She really isn't that interested in the pay, she just wants a job she likes. I've tried to get her into the ER that I work in as a PCA, but no luck there so far, seems an MA isn't what they want to hire. Seems she's over qualified for PCA and underqualified for anything else. But that's a different thread. I would just like to see her happy.
