As a 1st year student in the RHIT program it has been very hard trying to figure out if I made a good decision on going back to school to obtain an AS degree in HIT. I have read through most of the posts on this site and it has been a little discouraging. The majority of the comments have not been very positve as far as finding jobs and getting started in this field. I hope that by the time I'm ready to work that the prospects are much better.
Is there a future in HIM? How do I as new student get started as far as networking and making industry contacts?
