Do you like you job? Do you get benefits (health insurnace)? Is it easy to find a job right after you graduate? Any other advice and Pros and Cons will be greatly appreciated.

I am wondering the same thing. I want to become a MA but I hear so many mixed reviews.

Honestly, not to scare you but it is really hard to find a good job as a CMA once you graduate. Noone wants to hire you until you have 1-2 years experience. You end up taking a minimum paying job somewhere working your butt off. Finally you find a better job but they only want to pay about $10 or $11 an hour. I honestly regret it. I wish I had went for something else that is in higher demand.
