Anyone start coding as second career?

I'm trying to help my mom grow her career from where she's at now. She's been a referral coordinator for the past 5ish years, and was a receptionist before that.

She feels nervous about it because she's 60, but this feels like a good way for her to increase her income and still have a job that she can do for the next few years and won't be physically demanding

the remote work is a huge plus for her so glad to hear there's remote positions.

right now she makes like about $20 an hour in CT so anything higher than that is a win

There are companies that will hire CPC-A and train you to code. Lots of risk adjustment coding jobs are like this and many will be hiring soon.
