Invinceable

I'd like to get into the medical field. I think a good foot in would be medical billing and coding. It's always in need and versatile to doctor's offices or hospitals. Some people even do it at home but I don't think I'd like that. It would also get me into someplace where I might be able to afford some medical insurance. BONUS! The pay is about the same as I make now but there are so many more opportunities. It's not so dead end.

I found a program that is offered as continuing education through one of the local technical colleges. It's completely online with video lectures, simulated software, and all books for about $2500. It's a 6 month to 1 year program depending on your pace. I could probably knock it out in the 6 months if I can get my act together and just lock myself in my room nightly. It's 360 hours approximately and includes medical front office too so I'd have more to offer than just coding and billing.

What do you guys think?
