Right now I work for an eye doctor. When I was hired in they promised a position in their insurance department after I worked in one of their offices for a few months since that is what I have been going to school for. I am out of school for the summer and am debating on if I should go back or not. Not because they didn't give me the promised job but because I'm not sure if this is what I want to do anymore.
I'm at a stand still/crossroads. Any advice?

        1.) How many years have you completed in your current study? I wouldn't recommend switching majors unless it's less than 1.5 years in.

        2.) Area of study = insurance/finances? Business management? It really depends on what your major is to decide what other areas are available.

        This goes without saying, but it's very likely that you won't be in love with your job. If you enjoy it to any extent, I say give it another shot. Sorry I'm not much help since it's not a field I'm familiar with >.<;

I wouldn't switch... Everyone gets burnt out near the end.
But I'd totally recommend a break from school to think about it. Take a quarter off... Maybe take a few other classes at a community college where it's cheaper?
Test a few other things....
Just remember that whatever you pick will most likely still lead you to this feeling after a while.


Work is not supposed to be fun, so unless it's violating your core believes or ethics, I'd probably stick to it. It's a good field.

I only have 1 year of schooling right now.
And it's medical coding is what I've been going to school for specifically so basically what I would be doing in a job is getting documents from a doctors office or hospital and make sure that it has the proper codes so it can be sent off to the insurance companies for payment.
It would be a very monotonous job, which I wouldn't mind it just would be a very financially secure in the long run.
