 Been doing it at home as an IC for 5 years. It was tough in the beginning, but once I got experience under my belt and learned what kind of companies I wanted to work with and what kind of work I wanted to do, it got a lot better. I love working at home. I love not having a boss. I love not having crazy, witchy, gossipy, coworkers. I make very good money. I have flexible hours. It is not a difficult or stressful job. I love not having to commute. I love saving money on office clothes, gas, and childcare. I love it. I don't really care what people think about medical transcription, if they respect the profession or not. It pays my bills and allows me to stay at home and be my kids' mom. Actually, truth be told, I think most of the time they are jealous anyway! I do get worried sometimes about voice recognition and offshore outsourcing, but then I come here and look at the job seekers board and there seem to be plenty of openings there. I admit that my pay hasn't increased tremendously over the last five years, but it has some and between that and my lines per hour increasing to approximately 200 per hour I am very happy with my hourly wage. I also have some accounts of my own, which pay even more, which increase my average total hourly wage. No complaints here! |
I love my job too... - cai
