That's the way to go! I did just that, and what i learned in the field not only helped with the degree, it made me WAY more valuable than the 22 year olds i was competing against. Besides, i could afford (and buy) pizza and beer, too.
I plan on getting certified in
Phlebotomy,
Medical Terminology
Computer Office Specialist

By the time I go for my medical degree, I’ll be six steps ahead and taking Med Term will simply be going over the same thing. I’ll get the credit and the work will be child’s play.
I also plan on getting volunteer work in a hospital so I have in the end both the degree and experience.
