1. I suggest you attend your local community or technical school. They teach the same basic curriculum, most offer online classes and it will be WAY cheaper than the private for profit(online only schools). Most online schools are over priced, have non transferable credits and don't offer a better education for the price you are paying. Also, a lot of these schools promise "job assistance", do not believe this, it is a joke. They will NOT guarantee you a job and most of the time their "assistance" is to tell you to look at local job ads. Just an FYI, this field has quickly become over saturated with new grads and most employers are only hiring employees who have at least 2 years experience. When you read about coding shortages, they mostly mean there is a shortage of experienced and certified coders. So once you gain the necessary experience, there are usually a fair amount of jobs to chose from. But until you get that experience, it can be hard to find a job. It is generally the advice to try to get a job elsewhere in HIM. If you can, try to find a HIM job in a hospital. That way you can gain experience and network. Most hospitals prefer to hire from within, so already being an employee will give you an advantage.
