[QUOTE who="Confusedgirl32 in Maplewood, New Jersey"]Thanks Ms. Doppelganger. That was really nice of you. I'm trying to discover what I can do. I've thought about medical billing and coding, but people are saying that it's hard to break into that field. I also thought about med tech, but I am scared of needles and they require that plus I have to take organic chemistry over again, which I got a D in in undergrad. I would also have to take immunology, biochemistry, microbiology, and cell biology . Those are not easy classes, but I was told I could take them at a community college (I still think it will be challenging!) So, I don't know which way to go. It seems like I'm really leaning toward medical billing and coding. I want to find out if my local community college offers accredited classes in that. Hope I get my act together soon! Thanks for the support! I appreciate it![/QUOTE]
I think the medical billing/coding route depends on your location. I first went to school and completed a medical billing and coding program, upon completion had no job experience and could not land a job at all.Went back for a B.A in psychology with concentration in adolescent development. I found a job within a youth counseling field, but at $14 an hour, it just is not worth it. After graduating I was/a in so much debt and the pay within the field just does not "cut it" when it comes to paying the bills and paying off student loans. I cannot imagine going back for a MA in this field. The debt alone makes me want to cry haha. From my experience, carefully consider the advise from the indeed forums rather than the education systems. A lot of fields recommended via schools really are over saturated or just really difficult to get into. I have wasted MANY years working towards what I "wanted to do" disregarding the warnings on the forums. DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE
