Currently, I am going for medical assisting, but am afraid that it doesn't make enough money. I live in a small town so there isn't a lot of option with jobs. I like shuffling papers and filling out forms. I like to organize records. What is a good paying job that I can go to school for? Any suggestions?

Perhaps maybe you should think of possible jobs outside of your town? I know that you may not want to leave your family and friends but it may be necessary to get a job you will enjoy. Judging by what you do perhaps a filing clerk or assistant would be a good career for you. How is your math because maybe accounting might interest you since there is a lot of paper work and organization involved.

I think so too actually. My dad used to do it and he was able to work from home, organize his time to work when he felt like it and meet a lot of interesting people. If you work for a large company or multiple companies the pay is very good as well.

Wow I think that you may have to do something in the field of a secretary or personal asistant .Trust me now it may not seem like a lot but you can make a lot of money if you are an assistant to a very powerfull manager or CEO of a company.I also think that you may want to look into the field of legal secretary or legal officer I think they are called ,they are the perons who work with lawyers

I think I have decided that I am going to finish medical assisting. I am going to do that for a few years, and if I don't like it, I'm going back for some type of law degree or perhaps I'll be a doctor! Who knows?

I don't think you should limit yourself to your place of origin. Why not think about your passion and follow it? What do you really want to do with your life? You can always leave your small town and move into the big city to look for opportunities there. Don't limit yourself. Just think about what you want. Remember, if you enjoy what you do, you'll never have to work another day. Cheers.
