Quick Transcription Service - TiredMT

One of over 40 services I applied and sent resumes to in my miserable search for a service that actually has work.  That was over 2 months ago.  They are asking me to test because they pay a whopping $20 per audio hour (which by my crude calculation would end up being about $6 per audio hour).  And apparently they pay through Paypal.  How's that for professional?  This company is in NYC and apparently intent on preying on the continually rising numbers of MTs out there who are feelling ever so desperate like me.  I guess this is why I have been going to the occasional job fair and looking for on site jobs locally that make it worth getting up out of bed.  Seems everybody wants something for nothing now.  It has become very discouraging these days, considering that I have spent the last 20 years doing MT in what is now a field that is dying a slow and painful death.  Had done years of legal before MT prior to this, but those skills are now outdated, as all my experience was before electronic filing, and not much Outlook and Excel experience.  Hope something turns up soon before I am forced to take two minimum wage jobs just to make it.  Have worked for two different MTSOs in the last 2 months, both of which said they had a lot of work, great accounts, you'll love it, and they have rotten accounts, no work, and I hate it.  Dropped off my resume at a local pest control company for data entry and really hope to hear from them as they will pay up to $12 per hour and are about a 3-5 minutes drive from my apartment.  I cannot support myself on what this field is paying these days, even if they have any work.
