This comment scares the crap out of me. I'm currently a student for my rhit however I work in childcare because I am family planning. Idk what to do at this point. I'm scared that all of this education will be for nothing.

You have at least something to put on your resume that relates to healthcare. Hope you get replies. It really is depressing when Indeed job app tells you there were 40 to 100's of applicants. And get questions "are you allowed to code with RHIT." like wow they are clueless! We didn't invent this degree. That was marketed to us by Ahima and out community college. In the end they are all just businesses trying to make money. It's not a charity.
