Consensus is - no way Jose - believe what you want Posted: Nov 2nd, 2009 - 9:34 pm In Reply to: A friend of mine wants to try this, can she make $30.00 an hour doing transcription - L
She would need time and practice to build up her speed and expanders whether she was typing or doing VR.
And then she would have to get a job that pays decent, which are getting rarer every day.
And then she would have to get a decent account with dictators she could understand.
Oh, and there would have to be consistent WORK on that account, or none of the above would matter.
If the planets align perfectly in the sky, she might make $30 an hour for a week, a month or a year, but the planets will move on and her earnings will drop due to outsourcing, clients coming and going, etc.
Personally, my job went from heaven to hell in the blink of an eye. I made 50k last year with a combination of good client, plenty of OT, and good expanders.
This year I'll be lucky to make 20k...I didn't change ANYTHING (same employer, same hours, etc.) but I have lost 2/3 of my income with no warning - surprise! - the client is gone, there is no work any more, "hang in there" (if you can afford it) until we find more clients. I might never get that lucky again. Its a crap shoot. Your friend might have better luck taking her college money to Vegas.
