In Reply to: That's always a sticky problem - Lindy

back a few mos ago, when the subject came up between us the first time, I showed her the websites of the "big 2" and told her that I was trying to decide between the 2 schools.  I explained that that is the way to get proper training and to be able to work from home right off the bat for good pay and to do the job well.  It was too expensive for her, so I gave her information about the CS program through Everett CC, which is eligible for Pell and other aid. 


I think its definitely a sticky situation because now, a few mos later, I get offered this job and I have not enrolled in a course yet.  So, it must appear that in fact, one does not need to take a course.  I was able to get the job because I did a billing and coding certificate at our local school and the employer was willing to interview coding grads.  I know full well that this job is not going to lead me to the next MT job. I will need to complete a good program.  This is work for one specialty - I doubt I would be able to do the work at all if it were for a variety of specialties or acute care. 


Thanks for the good luck wishes! I'm going to need them.
