You should ask yourself about your willingness to work directly with patients or not. Medical billing and coding is one of the few health care fields where you don't have to deal with the ehm "icky" parts of patient care. While plebotomy doesn't offer the comforts of office work, depending on your area it may be easier to get that first job after school. You can read more about if medical billing and coding is a good fit for you or not on StudentAdvisor: www.studentadvisor.com/pages/medical-billing-and-coding-starting-your-career
