What is the better job, medical billing and coding or healthcare administration?

I am looking to go back to school, but what area would provide better job stability, especially in Pueblo Colorado?What is the better job, medical billing and coding or healthcare administration?
Administration would be a better route because it opens up more. Medical billing is very specific - that degree will allow you to be a medical biller. However, healthcare administration will allow you to work in healthcare, but gain administrative or business experience that will allow you to transfer fields or move up the corporate ladder. Billing will get you a job that you will ahve for life without advancement. Administration will probably be harder to find a job initially, but after that you could move up high.What is the better job, medical billing and coding or healthcare administration?
All great choices. I really enjoy coding/billing. Are you considering a degree in HIM? That wouldn't be a bad idea either. Have you considered medical transcription?
