Believe it or not, one of my most successful coders attended a coding/billing career school, and started out at this facility in the dietary department...delivering meals to patients. Because she had her 'foot in the door', so to speak, she was privy to internal job postings that never make it to the public. She started her coding career as a data entry person, and worked her way up to specialty coder. She now codes Emergency room visits on the facility side, and earns $35000+, makes her own hours, and enjoys the full benefits that our facility offers. All because she wasn't too uppity to take a position in the kitchen, and she kept her focus.
Don't discount any job in the healthcare world, no matter now unrelated to coding it might appear. Sometimes being on the inside, even if you're not coding right away, is a step in the right direction.
Good luck with your job search.
