Need Advice About School?

I work in retail and barely make enough to pay my bills. I wanted to do Medical Billing and Coding and I looked into my options. I wanted to go to Heald but it cost $10,000 for their program. I found another class at a Adult Education Center that offered Medical Billing and Coding for $600. I'm taking the $600 class and so far I don't feel like it will help me to get a job or give me the training I need. Most of the time the teacher talks about her personal life or about some drama she had at her work place. If I drop the class I won't get my money back.





I want to go to Heald but its a lot of money. I was also thinking about doing Dental assisting which is offered at the community college and it won't cost me that much money. What should I do? Should I stay in my class? Should I go to another school?





Which career do you think is better Medical Billing or dental assisting? Thank you!!

Finish the class but maybe you can speak to someone and get transfered? Or interrupt the instructor %26amp; ask class focused questions. Many B %26amp; C classes are fairly self taught from a work book anyway. Avoid that $10,000 school--you might not make that $ to pay back. I would seriously consider the dental as well. You may have problems finding a billing job in the end.
Reply:if you're not going to get your money back, you should at least finish the course to get a "degree" or "certificate" that says you completed this course.





after that, use that degree to help you find a job. if that doesn't work out, go to Heald or a community college.
Reply:You have the right to speak your concern to the teacher. Your paying a lot of money and you should be getting your money's worth. If she doesn't stop her story telling, etc. then go ask for a refund. You might get it.
