The reason for this shortage is that schools and testing centers are making it next to impossible to enter any of these professions. Expensive schooling, outrageous testing prices, along with low salaries What do you expect? Education and certification have become nothing more than profit-making mills under the guise of professionalism. Quality should count, not the number of hoops to jump through. The medical certification coding test, 5 hours, 40 minutes, $290? Who are you kidding? For $30,000 salary? Guess I won't be certified any time soon. Another useless waste of a year in school.
