and don't see that it matters. My mentor trained me for 3 months, literally right by my side, then for 2 YEARS I did not turn in work unless she proofread it. My formal training consists of a high school terminology class 20 years ago and a continuing ed class at the CC - 8 weeks of terminology and transcription that I took late in the 2-year period my mentor had me work for her. After working as an MT for eight years, I feel I've 'paid my dues' same as any other, and can hold my own with the best. Quality training does not have to come from a college, and a piece of paper does not make an MT an MT. Hard work, willingness to learn and excel, and pride in one's work does. |
