    I wish they would give us an idea of what the salary would be. At least a range of what can be expected in this field. Also a cours of study that employers are looking for. They mention being certified. What certificate are they talking about and canit be attained at a locak Jr. college? Having a strong back ground on office/secretarial details and clerical and a broad base knowledge of medical terms, I would be interested in going for the certificate. Need to know the salary expectation and the education that wold seal the deal. Any one know about these things?

    Personally, I don't think age is a consideration as long as one is capable of performing efficiently at there chosen career.
