I joined right out of high school at 17, went to basic training that summer, came back for my first semester of college, then went to AIT (military job training) the following summer. Finished my degree in two years at 19. In the National Guard, you sign up for 6 year contracts, and I'm now 22 so I have about a year left in. We only go one weekend a month and then a two week period of training once a year.

It really is, and most people don't. Most who know about it either have friends in the field or already worked in the medical field as something else and saw the coders and were like shit, I should be doing that.

Go for it bro. Check in with your college adviser and talk about your goals with them, but if you have any specifics related to the career or schooling required itself, I'd be more than happy to tell you everything I know.

>Are there any interactions with the company you work for other than requests/however they assign you stuff?

Every other week we might have a conference call and go over things with our patients, but for the most part all I do is receive diagnosis & procedure reports and convert them into their respective ICD-9 and CPT code forms to be processed by the patient's insurance company. They might send me an IM every now and again asking about something with a tricky diagnosis, but that's about it. Other than that it's just data processing and conversion.

There is much more to life than what your salary is. Life is more dimensional than that. If I can make it to six digits then I'll be happy with myself and it will count a little bonus on the life check list but after 75K I don't think i'd care too much UNLESS I had a family.

You can teach English in Japan with any degree. I'm also not sure what you mean by being a cop. Do you mean being a cop in Japan?

I went to a private college, got a better ride than I would have at state schools, made connections, and then jumped out of the liberal arts in grad school to do data analysis work.

Point is, the degree only means so much outside of STEM. At the end of the day, its all about personal motivation, ambition, and drive with a healthy dose of luck thrown in. Most people I know that graduated with a STEM degree are working in some 2 bit lab because they wanted a good life without working too hard, then got lost in the real world when they are by themselves while simultaneously hating themselves and their jobs.

It depends on what you want to do. HIT (also called health informatics, medical information technology, and medical informatics) encompasses a huge field.

There's medical administration, medical coding, electronic medical records, and medical transcription to name a few.

There are certifications for all of the above, but I'm only a coder so all I can tell you is about coding.

Medical coding professionals provide a key step in the medical billing process. Every time a patient receives professional health care in a physician’s office, hospital outpatient facility or ambulatory surgical center (ASC), the provider must document the services provided. The medical coder will abstract the information from the documentation, assign the appropriate codes, and create a claim to be paid, whether by a commercial payer, the patient, or CMS.

Certifications and the average salary from each:
>Certified Professional Coder (CPC) – $48,593
>Certified Professional Coder – Hospital Outpatient (CPC-H) – $56,284
>Certified Professional Coder – Payer (CPC-P) – $57,995
>Certified Professional Practice Manager (CPPM) – $59,619
>Certified Professional Medical Auditor (CPMA) – $61,115
>Certified Professional Biller (CPB) – $61,667
>Certified Professional Compliance Officer (CPCO) – $69,138

agronomy/environmental sci major here. By the end of my chemistry stint in college I was BARELY making a 2.0 and needed a quick way out. The environmental track required the least math and least chemistry and was mostly stupid trivial bullshit classes with multiple choice tests. After finishing college with straight Cs (and a few academic suspensions) I lucked the fuck out and manage to weasel my way into the petroleum field and am making 90k a year loading trucks with motor oils for a big refiner. Your degree doesn't determine how much you make, it's how hard you hustle.

Some guy earlier was telling me Philosophy was STEM because its a "natural science" yeah its one step up from religion or metaphysics but its reaaaally science. Whatever.

If you go clinical it's different though because you do 2 extra years of residency and only make 90k while working 60 hour weeks, but thats only like 2% of grads.

Boston area generally has a great IT market. But generally without job experience it can be harder to get a salary position. I would start with hourly work somewhere that isn't retail. You could also do some on the side home work. If you are A+ Certified you can reasonably bill people 30-40$ an hour

The whole idea is having a person making a subjective assessment about the quality of your accounting. That cannot be replaced by a computer.

My aunt has been doing debits and credits at her bank for 30 years, she capped out at a 45K salary a long time ago because she doesn't have a college degree

If you don't get a CPA and get stuck in accounts receivable, you'll hit a pay ceiling pretty quickly
