Which can I become faster?

Question

A nursing assistant, certified nursing assistant, physical therapy assistant, or medical assistant (ok, should be obovious that i'm looking for something in the medical field at ground level, if i'm forgetting anything please mention it, my husband lost his job and I can afford to go to a school / program if it's short term) what can I become the fastest that pays $10 / hour or more?

Answer 1

All of those jobs take while to get a degree in so if i were you i would look at a job in a corporate office that has good pay.

Answer 2

CNAs can become certified in as little as 6 months...or 75 hours of education and 16 clinical hours. MA programs are typically 1-2 years.  Both jobs usually result in a salary around $26,000 or about $12 an hour...depending on setting and location.  

A physical therapy assistant takes about 2 years and culminates in an associates degree, but your earning potential is much higher with most PTAs earning between $35-45,000 a year.  

Good luck...
