What do I wanna be when I grow up??

Hi, I have been working in the healthcare field for the last few years as a certified medical assistant would like to go back to school. I have looked into Surgical tech, billing and coding and even into coding in general. I am looking for schooling I can do online without the need to take loans out if possible. I have background in LTC, clinics and even traveling as a drug tester for occupational medicine. I see that billing and coding are currently over saturated and am worried I will have a hard time finding work. Would it be worth it to switch into a completely different field such as coding or is there something I can do with the background I have??

Is it hard to become a train conductor? Cause honestly that is what I dreamed of doing when I was a kid. I just need some guidance in this as I am currently spiraling and put my 2 weeks in at my current job with nothing lined up.

thank you in advance

Hey I am currently thinking of going back to school to transition into more back of house work then the clinical side. I would love to work remotely as I have seen on Indeed for CMA with contracts. I'm just nervous because I don't want to get scammed or take a hit and not be paid. Also never done contract work before.

Does anyone have any experience with remote MA work? What was your experience? Is there anything I should look out for that yells "we'll screw you over" in working remotely?

TIA 😊

Hi all I am currently a CMA for the last 5 years been working in clinical office for some time now and have a somewhat idea of coding as we touched on it in school. Also I scribe with a doctor needing to apply dx codes to her note. I would like to get into coding and did a ton of research yesterday finding AMCI. Currently in their free course to get my toes wet so to speak.

My question is the recommended/required books on there are expensive. I was wondering if there is another way to get the books? Also I want to make sure I get the correct ones or ones that people actually found helpful.

Listed above are the ones they require. If anyone can help a girl out in whether I get those or find something similar.

Last question I cannot find the ICD 10 diagnosis code manual. Anyone know where it's hiding?

I guess this post is needing help making sure I'm buying the correct books and not wasting money on the wrong ones 😂

TIA 😊
