"I have always wanted a career in the medical field. I chose to become a medical assistant because it offered me the opportunity to have both administrative and clinical roles within the industry. At this point, I have no plans of changing my career path."

"I never considered going back to school to get a higher degree or to make a change in my career. Many of the people I went to college with went back to school to get different certifications or degrees. For me, though, I enjoy the role of being a medical assistant and caregiver to my patients. It takes all of us to make a good team, and I am happy with the choice I made to become a medical assistant."

One of the great things about working in the medical field is that there are almost no limits to the number of specialties one can work in. There is no right or wrong answer to this question. The interviewer may ask this for more than one reason: Some employers offer incentives for employees who qualify to go back to school, others like to know what your education goals are so that they can place you in a position that would benefit you both while giving you an opportunity to pursue your education goals.

"At different times, I have considered furthering my education and becoming a nurse anesthetist. However, right now, I am content with where I am in my career. I enjoy the hands on care that I am able to give to my patients as a medical assistant. While there may come a time when I decide to go back to school, I don't foresee that in the immediate future."
