why don't you just code from home? I have seen plenty of work from home coding jobs, make it easy on yourself.

Coder vs. Transcriptionist
Honestly, which is better? As far as job market, earnings, and essential functions of the job?
and the truth is, I don't WANT to be a coder.
I pulled up the course curriculum yesterday from our local jr college, and, though most of it is taken care of with my previous degree, I don't really want to be a coder. Who knows, maybe the next president will outlaw outsourcing and we'll all be in the "green" again. Never can tell! All we have to expect next is pigs to fly.
i used to be a coder inhouse. sm
my schooling was actually a combination of MT/coding so i had the option of either. i started out coding at a local doc office. i didn't have much of a problem with it. the cons i would say was dealing with people b*tching about the bills and medicaid pain in the *ss, but other than that was fine. i slowly picked up MT work on the side to do in the evenings part time, realized how much money i was making and eventually quit the inhouse job to go full time at home as an MT and tripled my money. not sure about coding at home so i can't help you there.
Does anyone work as medical coder who
can answer a few questions? 1) Has anyone transitioned from MT to coder and, if so, how does it compare salary-wise? 2) Can it be done at home as MT can? 3) How long to train and ease of securing job as newbie? There seems to be a big demand these days in comparison with MT jobs. After 15+ years as an MT, I'm wondering if that would be a better way to go?? Would appreciate any info!
