I passed my CPC exam in March but naturally had a devil of a time getting a job without experience. I'm now working as an anesthesia tech and waiting to decide if I even want to persue coding.
My biggest concern in sitting at a desk all day and reading (intensly) day in and day out. I overlooked what this job would entail because I was laid off at the time with no skills and went after anything that sounded good.
I'm wondering how difficult it is to sit and read all day long, among the other challenges of being a coder. Should I go back to school for something I find interesting here in the Surgery dept, or is the fact that I passed the test on the first try enough to judge whether or not I'd make a good coder? I'm just kind of confused, I like working on my feet more than I thought I would here in a hospital.
