Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me more in detail the glitches that cause all the stress? I agree that letting someone else do all the leg work WAS less stressful, but at this point in time I feel like I am really underpaid. I currently have two different companies I work for - one 8.5 cents a line and one 8 cents a line - and I cannot get enough work out of either one of them to even make half of what I was making a few months ago....when the clinic I was doing work for went to all speech and axed us with one days notice. For me, it is either go out on my own and try to land a good account... OR find another line of work.
