I'm thinking of getting into a MA program.
I've heard here and on other boards that there are not that many jobs for the MA (or medical biller and coder). One person on here called those programs 'scams' since the private schools are so much money while not having the job availability as claimed to 'help with job placement' upon completion. Many recommend going for the LPN (licensed practical nurse) training instead. The county vo-tech school tends to offer such a program and not with an astronomical fee as the private schools charge. Good luck to you in whichever field you choose!

For more general career info -- US occupational outlook handbook: www.bls.gov/oco and can type into search 'licensed practical nurse' or such.
