Without quality training, finding a job will be tough. Making $15k to $20k a year is not out of the question at all. Good luck with your decision. :)

New MT Student and need to know if I should continue?
I just started the Career Step course thru Canscribe at a cost of about $4500 CDN and I'm starting to wonder if this is worth doing or not? I don't need a huge income from this, I'd like to work at home, and still make upwards of $15k/year. Does that seem reasonable? Or should I pull out now while I can still recoup some of my course costs? What would you do? I tried to research as well as I could beforehand but I'd hate to put in all the time and money only to be no further ahead.

Will continue to research....

Thanks for your response Annette! I guess I need to call a combination of clinics, hospitals, private pratices to see what they want and what education background they look for.

See I live in Georgia and they have a hope scholarship (or grant) that would pay 100% of my certification, books and fees included. They have a link to most of the schools that one could attend. The technical schools that I looked into do offer full certification, but the "big 3" training companies are not listed. I first need to contact the Georgia Hope Grant to see if these schools would be covered as well. If not, I hope the local hospitals and doctors offices look forward to students from the local technical schools.

As much as I want to make extra money at home, I just don't know which way to go. I have a twin sister who just started the billing and coding certification in Ohio and I try to get some pointers from her, but she just started about a month ago and I can only digest what information she gets from others.

I look forward to reading a lot of posts on this site as I find it very helpful and interesting.

Thx Annette.
