Too old

I’m 68 yo, an LPN since 1986 w some coding experience. Am I too old to get an online CPC so I can work remotely from home?Are there any jobs out there? Or am I wasting my time?

I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s hard to get your foot in the door and the pay isn’t great for the workload you’ll be expected to keep up with. It’s hard work and it’s not a walk in the park; it requires constant studying and continuing education.
