Is this a good field to get into at my age?



I have been a ophthalmic asst/tech for many years. Due to a problem with my feet and needed surgery, I will no longer be able to be on my feet in an office or hospital setting anymore. I am considering going back to school for medical billing and coding. I am 50 years old, is it a good choice of career switch for me. Those of you that may have taken the course I would appreciate some pointers.

It is a great field at any age...

I know a guy that started a medical billing company with his wife at age 55...after he had just lost a previous business and went bankrupt... he is now 62, has a staff of 25, and makes several million a year..
look in the help wanted ads and see what kind of positions are in demand and see if any of those interest you. No sense choosing something because it sounds interesting if no one is hiring for that position
