Dude that's great! At least you have a specialty! my degree is in film and video- I'm starting to think I'll be an administrative assistant forever..... Don't know where you are but I'm sure you can make a decent buck doing billing- oh and PS also depends on where you are I work for ahospital system and the insurance coverage is somewhat better if you get stuff done at the hospitals that you are insured through... so there ya go! You are set dude-- Good Luck - and just in case you are thinking about it NOTHING is EVER worth hurting yourself over- my brother wanted to kill himself once and the pain of knowing someone you love would want to die makes you hurt so much- don't do anything crazy okay? You came to a good place- Take care

Life is more important than you'll ever know. Try to talk to your family or friends. Here you can find great support. I know how you feel as I went through it as well. I got another chance at life so I'm not going to give up and neither should you. Good luck to you...marty
