Need Advice with Career Path?

wow, there's a huge difference between the jobs of Medical Assistant and Cosmetician (or Managing Cosmetologist). Maybe take a job at Medical Billing if you're out of work, or the kind of job that translates doctors notes into records (and that kind of job you can work from home). You're already in an area that decent money could be made in. But if you've been in anything medical well seniors need assistance and there are many homemaker/companion/sitter temporary employment places around, or even if you decide to expand toward a nursing career where you'd visit peoples homes, or even bathe people. The days of long term careers and jobs that last 30 years are gone. Jobs today are temps, and people work 2-3 temp jobs to make that one decent salary that they enjoy.
