I have a friend who did scribe work - sm

and she was only averaging about $10 an hour and said it was one of the hardest jobs she's ever had, would never do it again.

I can see why that would be. This job is hard enough when we can rewind and relisten, but to be paid a low line rate for a job that is clearly not production oriented is just another slap in the face for MTs who possess the necessary skills to do this kind of job.

They definitely can't hire anyone off the street with no experience to be a scribe.
