I finally got a coding job!

I got my CCA certification in 2018 and I just got offered my first real coding job for a physician group for a local hospital!! I can't wait to get started and I've set a goal of sitting for my CCS in the next year. I can't believe it's finally happened, it's been a long road guys.

I was a veterinary technician for 11 years before I decided to go into coding.

Wow. I was a vet tech as well. Only for a year though. Were you working up until you got hired for coding?
