Is 57 to old

[Bootsie]

I am 57 years old and I am looking toward the future and I think I need a easier job. Lifting feed kinda is getting to me, I was thinking of taking lessons to find a easier way of living. I want to learn something like medical coding and billing, will be taking it through Penn Foster on line,that I can do on line.

A friend of mine, that is no longer here,started working for Doctors in this field and instead of going in to work did it right from her own office at home. What do you think am I to old to start thinking of a new career?

I'm looking at it this way,

• You own your own business
• You're the boss
• It's right on your ranch
• You can run home and put supper together
• Lifting feed will keep your muscles toned, no flabby wings under the arms.
• No punching a time clock
• Too old? never if that's what you really want, look at grama moses and Colonial Sanders!

Bootsie, I don't think you're ever too old to do anything! Well, maybe wear a bikini! But, besides that, not much. My DIL is a medical coder and she works from home. She worked in one hospital that did not have home coding. She had to quit and come to my hospital to get a home coding position. Before you sign up, check out the local areas that need coding and seeing if they have home coding.

You are NEVER too old to learn something new.

You are NEVER too old to try something different.

From my viewpoint, at 57 you are a still a youngster. LOL

Of course you are not too old! If it takes a year, well you would be a year older anyway. I think it's great you are taking steps to make a life you might be happier in. One thing though, years ago I went from waitressing 45 hours a week to a desk job, and in 4 or 5 months, put on ten pounds just from the change of activity level. So watch for that.
Good luck with your plans!!
