fantastic money. Never had a single problem getting paid either. I am happy I ignored the snotty comments and bad attitudes on this board and accepted the position. The owner of this company is very hands on and quick to share whatever knowledge/info she has to make your job easier. Her pay rate is substantially higher than any medical position posted on this board. I never did court reporting before this, but she wanted someone with a very, very extensive medical background, which I have. She taught me the rest.

I am very grateful I don't follow these hateful board trolls -- it has lined my pockets.
