Truths - Been around Posted: Nov 1st, 2009 - 8:45 am In Reply to: How depressing! - Smiley
I have been doing this for many years. I personally contacted a training school the other day 1 person on here told me she had graduated from and was not able to get work. I was so shocked to see what I was reading. One thing was you could type 54 wpm and do 300 lph. Unbelievable this would be on the web site. I also read there most of us worked an average of 30 hours per week and made just as much as full. Smoke was coming from my ears. I read where some independents received all these perks, saying full benefits are provided for paid vacation, sick leave, health insurance, retirement plans. I am independent and I would say most independents know very little, if anything about these perks being given out. I contacted them and let them know most here work 2, 3 and more jobs just to eek out a living, how wages have fallen rather than increased, never a raise and this is how I feel, most in this field being offered the same 8 cents for straight typing, 4 cents for VR, some paying even less. It is not a good field now to make a living and raise a family. I have just looked back on the website and found they have changed some of their wording, have increased what you need as far as typing speed and to make such and such lines per hour you need expanders, etc. No wonder people are being hooked into these schools. Sounds really good, huh?
