have no MT credentials, only OTJ training. Like you, I have a bachelor's degree. Now I make 10.125 cents a line in my speciality, but in other fields I'll work for as low as 7 b/c I don't know it as well. I think the real key here is getting more lines for yourself, not particularly more cpl pay. I, too, work for an acquaintenace, but make no bones about it when work is slow with her, that I take on other assignments on my own. I think that keeps her on her toes as well, to keep me around. Likewise, with the other jobs I take, I make sure they know I'm committed first and foremost to this other account. Never had any problems so far! I look for overflow work, even in nonmedical fields, and I give calls to other local transcriptionists who will use me from time to time. I've had years go by without hearing from some of them, and then in a pinch they'll give me a call. At this point for me, being a local Transcriptionist and networking with other locals, has been the way to go. Good luck! |
