I'm a new student in Coding and now I'm terrified - smh

I'm so afraid I've made a bad decision going to Coding School because now some of the "big name" medical transcription companies are getting into the Coding field.  Is the same thing going to happen to Coding that has happened to MT?  They managed to completely destroy the profession of medical transcription.  Are they going to do the same to Coding?   I'm seven months into a Coding course and I just don't know if it's going to be worth it now.

Thoughts and comments please.
