I'm at odds as to what I would like and what I would be good at. I'd like to do one of these courses online with Career Step. I love data entry and organizing things and pay great attention to detail.
I was wondering if anyone in these fields could tell me about their job, how it is, the good/bad/ugly about it, so I can try to decide.

Transcription and Coding will pay much better than Pharmacy Tech. There will also be greater opportunities for employment for the first two.
