I'm wondering if anyone here works in any of those areas and can give me any advice on getting started.
I'm going to just take a basic online medical terminology class starting next week, to get my feet wet!
There are so many national schools and I'm trying to figure out which ones are good or not so good. It's just kind of overwhelming and would appreciate any and all advice!

Have you considered being a nurse? The country as a whole is experiencing nursing shortages. I know in this area hospitals are offering some pretty big bonuses to new graduates and the pay is very well. You can become an LVN (LPN it is called in most other areas) in about a year. Just a thought. Good luck in whatever you decide.
