My suggestion is always have the certificate ready! so when the time comes someone look for a coder its going to be you!

@@themedicalcodingguy gotcha! So do you mean I would have to work within the country I'm staying at or is it possible to work abroad from the US as a remote coder? I see a lot of mixed answers.
