Coder VS. MT

Which is better? Job stability, essential job functions, and OF COURSE $$$$$$$?

• Coder VS. MT - confused
  • Neither. You should look into being a rad or U/S tech, or something - some more inside
  • Coding has much more of a future than MT right now. Coding can't be sent out to India and - sm
    • What? Coding most certainly can and IS sent out of the country! You're confusing - speech recog with offshoring!
    • Coding is most certainly being outsourced offshore. Who - Courtney SM
      • The AAMT. - nm
        • Yea right... Just like the AAMT tried to pretend - anon
        • and since WHEN is AAMT the BE ALL of anything? - Puhleez! nm
  • Everywhere I have worked, coders made more money than MTs. - Inhouse and at home. :(

I am so confused!!  I took a Medical Transcription course and could not find a job and it was not one of the BIG 3.  I am about ready to go with M-Tec Medical Transcription School.  But, I have been reading post about Medical Coders and now I do not know which to choose.  I do not want to make another mistake and choose the wrong school or the wrong career.  Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
