It's a great field w/ a lot of jobs available. The pay is great and you can work at home. It takes quality training to get started. There is no reason why not to work in medical transcription unless you hate sitting at a computer all day, don't have good hearing, or are not good with English grammar and spelling.
There are pros and cons to medical transcription (just like other fields). In my opinion, the pros far outweigh the cons but it could be different for you. One of the reasons why people choose to be in this industry is the fact that they are able to work at home for it - which is pretty useful for people who can't leave home that much but still wants to earn good money for their families.
It is ranked #14 in the top 25 professions and is ranked as a #1 home based career. The continuous growing demand for medical transcriptionists is attributed to a growing and aging population.
As above said, MT jobs are more rather than Coding and billing in the healthcare industry.
