If you are working now, I would recommend you keep that job.

I don't know what you mean by taking classes, but if you have not completed a coding program and learned enough in it to pass an AHIMA or AAPC certification exam *right now,* it is unlikely that an employer will hire you for coding.

Taking a job in medical records might help you break the ice at that facility, but taking a job in other areas isn't likely to help much. Any possible benefit from taking a housekeeping is so small and so unpredictable that it isn't worth losing the job you now have.

This counselor sounds as though she doesn't have a good grasp on the requirements of the coding industry.

Your best bet is to set up a study plan and work toward passing a certification exam in coding, then look for a job.
