Hate to break the news but - Been around a long time Posted: Oct 27th, 2009 - 10:05 am In Reply to: MT field - Shelley
The prices you were quoted are very unrealistic, even for people who are have done this work so long they could almost do it blindfolded. Very experienced people, most can transcribe all day without having to even think about breaking a book open or googling anything. For most in this work some are barely eeking out a living with maybe around $20,000 a year if that much. The pay has dropped instead of rising, the raises are never, you are suppposed to produce more if you want more pay, some people having to work 2 or 3 jobs to be able to live, feed and raise a family. The pay you speak of happened years ago and then you really had to be a go getter in order to make that much. You might see a few on here who say differently, but I am saying the majority fall into this category.
