Still here - Coder

Posted: Jan 1st, 2020 - 6:39 pm

Despite all the warnings from people here, it's been four years since I switched to coding and it's the best decision I ever made. I'm making the most money I ever have in my life, I work remotely, I have a completely flexible schedule, I have six weeks of paid vacation and my employer is paying my and my family's college tuition. My coding education was affordable and is paid off. Could my job go away? Sure... no job is 100% secure. But I know I would have none of these benefits if I stayed in transcription. If anyone is interested in coding, please don't let naysayers discourage you.
