I'm not online all the time either, so no need to apologize. I did look at some info on them last night and was strongly considering going with the community college they are linked with.

I was wondering how you are familiar with them. Did you use their courses? Did someone you know? Tell me more. Please!

Bump... For Tina... and to see if anyone else has any relevant information. Thanks!

I was looking into this about 2 years ago and I talked to my family doctor about it once (we know him personally outside of the office) and he reccommended that I not do it because the doctors now days are starting to send everything via e-mail to people in other countries - it is much cheaper - not really a nice thing to do but it is being done. Same with reading x-rays. It is all being done electronically over seas. I would still like to look into medical billing or coding. If anyone has any info on that please let me know. Thanks!

Offshoring and better technology were two reasons I was kinda leary of doing it myself. I'd hate to invest a year into learning a new skill only to find out that I've wasted my time.

I do want to find something I can do from home, though. That way I'm able to homeschool and take care of the house while bringing in money without being overly stressed like I was when I was working 40 hours/week outside of my home...

I would love to also!! My only hold back right now is insurance - I am praying for my husband to get a job with health insurance so I can work either part time or preferrably from home.
