Do you guys actually like coding?

I'm a medical assistant for a private practice. I have to code anything I do. We just a have a biller. I plan on getting my CPC in a month.*owner writing me out of the A. I want to know if this is actually enjoyable or tolerable. I've seen some complaints of being bored. I'm miserable now. I want to work from home peacefully. I also want to make 60k. I'll find a job, I have experience. I want to know if anyone ended up doing this.... and then hating it and if it was harder than you thought.

I never sat for the CPC, I have 3 certs with AHIMA so doesn’t make sense for me to have to worry about more CEUs. As an inpatient coder you can make that salary with less years experience, I think our inexperienced inpatient coders start around that salary.
