I talked to a lady who had a school (though at that time it appeared she was hiring...) and she told me I would have needed to review some things but she thought I could do it.
Then I researched further and is the same information you found; You are IC, you find your own work, nobody holds your hand and helps you, buy all your own equipment, and yes the reporters want experienced people as much as possible.
There's a lot more to it than simply transcribing or editing someone else's notes.
Someone could be lucky and fall into a perfect situation for them. But I think this is also going mostly digital, a lot of people can do their own work as machines and computers are so much more sophisticated these days.
I wouldn't hold out for it being The Great Miracle to rescue MTs. But if you want to try it, go ahead.
