I got a degree in medical billing and coding over a year ago and wasn't able to get a job cause I only have the MCBC cert. It costs hundreds of dollars for code books, membership, and certification for AHIMA or AAPC. It was way more in-depth than I thought it would be. You must review the patient's charts and tests to find the right diagnosis and then figure out the right order if there are multiple symptoms.

They do not pay medical coder enough money, there is a lack of respect, the work environment is toxic and unprofessional. and racism is a big factor in their being a shortage. Any of the other Allied health fields pay more and are more respect. Coder gets just enough in pay raises to keep them just above the poverty line.

Oh, Dear Odetta, I have subscribed to your channel because I really like the content of your past videos but this video you didn't do ample research for this topic!!!!!!. These schools will take your money and they will train you. Although, you won't be able to get the job you just studied and certified for!!! I don't mean to be rude by any means, but this is just a video to put out a video. There is a huge amount of people that have obtained certifications for these jobs but have not landed a job 2, 3, and 4 years later. People please don't waste your money down this career path!!!!!!! It all sounds good, but it isn't. I have even renewed my certifications year after year to no avail. My husbands a nurse and they are always shorthanded, I would say put the time and money towards that education/career!

It’s not impossible. You don’t need a college degree to be a front end or back in software engineer. You don’t need a college degree to be a truck driver, electrician, or a plumber. I made $100,000 a year as a bartender when I before I graduated from college. In cities, like New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, an executive assistant can make over $100,000. $100,000 is the “new poor” in America.
