I am very interested in working in the medical field but I do not want to train for over 2 years before I get a job!

Hey Parker, this really depends on where you live. In my state of MO an entry-level med admin job would be between $14.50-18/hour. In California, it might be $5/hour higher than that due to cost of
living. Pay also fluctuates depending on the company. For example, one in a big hospital would usually pay more than a position in a rural clinic. You’ll have to decide which type of environment you want to work in.

I'm familiar with a few folks who work in medical administration, and they earn somewhere between $14 and $17 per hour. However, it's worth noting that we live in a pricier region. In our more rural areas, the pay tends to be around $5 less.
The minimum wage in my state is 15.50 an hour, but this is very valuable information considering the salary shown on Google may be unrealistically inflated. Thank you!
