Best Answer:
go to a community college program...medical assistant, CNA, RN, physical therapy assistant, rad tech ,dental tech is a good one...there are a lot of choices. Usually you have a few pre-requisits but just a semster or two. YOu can get your AS. Don't go to an expensive tech school that you see on TV though. A lot of those places are shady. They can just shut down and take your money and sometimes they aren't even licensed. Good luck!

Actually it sounds like you have already chosen several very good areas in the medical field to get into. It also sounds like you have done some great planning ahead.
As for pay..that will depend on your area..it's not same everywhere. It also depends on the type of facility you get hired at..such as; hospital, dr office, nursing home... the pay varies for these. The pay for any of the things you listed is usually very good.
The right way is beginning and proceeding the way that YOU are comfortable with.
Good luck to you...I commend you for your strategy and for having such a great passion for the medical field as a profession.
