Answers:
I don't know where you got the $12000 number from, but I got a degree from a 2-year college that will enable me to get a medical coding job, and that cost far less than $12000... . In the U.S., medical coders generally make between $22K and $26K a year (according to the website for the Occupational Outlook Handbook,located at www.bls.gov/oco/ocos103.htm), but that is if they are certified. If you're in the U.S. and curious about this information, check out the website for the American Health Information Management Association, www.ahima.org.

Forget the money! This job is way too boring. What does #125749 mean? See, who the heck cares. And neither will you two days into the job.
$12,000 is more than you need to spend, investigate an online class or something like Ameritech medical training. It isn't the most glamourous job, but if medical intrigues you, it's worth a shot.
yes ucan, they make more
