You know, an apprenticeship is just what we need. Really. I also think we should be paid hourly, and that hourly rate would increase significantly after a year or two of on-the-job training wherever you work. At the very, very least we should get paid as much as coders; and everyone knows they "haul it in" compared to medical transcriptionists. By the way, the coders rely on what we transcribe. Interesting.
