Love your post. I went into transcription and editing - for medical/legal, and I love my work

Because of my extensive MT background, I was contacted by a company to do chart review, medical records review in preparation for legal cases --- very, very interesting work, fantastic pay, and never a penny short. I get paid immediately upon completion of my case work. I have also helped others get into the field, as well, and they also are doing well financially. When I posted before I was attacked nonstop for not "posting" the names of the companies I work for. The companies did not want me to do so, and I honored their request. Anyone that contacted me that appeared to be a good candidate (if the companies needed additional help), I set them up with the owners.

I still keep my finger in the medical transcription/editing on a very limited basis to keep up with medications, procedures, conditions, etc. Just pocket change.

It took me a long time to find these jobs, and I went through some really disgusting companies before finding these. I will never work for only one company again, and I explained that to my current employers -- they had no problem with that.

There are exceptionally good jobs out there for MTs and looking for them can take a while to find exactly what is needed/wanted. I am glad I put in the effort, and I am especially happy every time I look at my bank deposits.

MT is not dead -- every MT needs to figure out how to make it work best for them.
