Wiki Giving up coding

I’ve had my CPC since 2017 and I’ve yet to actually work as a coder for the reason being that a lot of companies want experienced coders. I’ve kept up with my CEU’s and always kept my certification current however I’m having 2nd thoughts of renewing this year in April as I feel like I’m going to waste my time again.
Any similar experiences? What can I do? I really don’t want to give it up but the coding employment doesn’t look promising for me :(
 
I worked as a biller for about 20 years. I finally got a job as a coder this year. Unfortunately, because I only had limited experience as a coder, I did have to take a pay cut but I figured it would be worth it because what I learn now I'll get back again once I get more experience. Don't give up. Keep plugging along & you'll get to where you want to go.
