should I go to school for billing & coding? - need help

I've been an MT for 17 years but wondering if I should go back to school for medical coding & billing.  Looking for the straight scoop.  Is it worth it?  Can I get a good paying job once I'm finished (will my years of MT experience help with that?), and are there any schools to look into or avoid?  I was contacted by Bryan University but their tuition seems pretty high.  Also, my company will pay a small percentage towards tuition at Rasmussen College.  Any info at all would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!!
