Medical Assisting
If you love people and enjoy taking care of them, here is some good news for you:
Growth of the aging baby-boomer population will continue to increase demand for preventative medical services which means employment for medical assistants is projected to grow 23% from 2018 to 2028. This is much faster than the average for all occupations.

You may enjoy this type of work if you are social, empathetic, and friendly. You were a kid who liked to play nurse, doctor, or medic. Maybe you practiced medicine on your pet dog or cat or maybe you bandaged up your dolls, GI Joes, or superheroes.
Caring for others and accuracy is very important to you. Helping folks be healthy is your passion. If so, then this may be the career for you.
