Are there any HAPPY Mts with good accounts and good pay!

Dear Terrified, Yes there are. :-) - ChickenLover

We just don't boast about it because we'll either get slammed or we'll make others, who are already depressed by a bad situation, even more sad.

I love my job and am incredibly grateful to have it--especially in these incredibly hard times for everyone out there, no matter what their lines of work.

I think the truth of it is...the ones who are HAPPY...as I am...are too BUSY to post much on any lists. I am only posting now, as I am simply taking a break in between files. I think there are many MTs who are very happy/satisfied with their job. I make far more than I would in an office and always have plenty of work to do. I used to attend MT seminars and was shocked at how little most of the MTs knew! Many had no idea what a macro was, what short-cut typing programs were, they bragged that they typed so fast they didn't need anything like that...in other words, they were very ignorant about their own profession. It's a profession...not a job. I think if more people thought of it that way, there would be more qualified MTs..and more happy Mts. Just my 5 cents worth.

I have a great account and a secondary that is not as great but okay when primary runs low. I am grateful every day to have a job, especially knowing so many people around me in our area that aren't as fortunate.

I'm also in the ranks of the happy. I have a great company, a good line rate, and pretty steady work. Yes, it slows around during the holidays, but most places do and I plan around that.

I have found that if you go by just this board for information, you'll get a very skewed, gloomy picture.

Yes, there are many happy MTs. However if you don't enjoy this field, it is very hard to be happy. I love what I do, it isn't really considered work for me.

I got a degree in health information technology in 2007 by an AHIMA certified program. I did it after I got laid off from a transcription job and getting fed up, realizing I would be more marketable with the degree. I continued to work in QA at home and never took my RHIT because I was worried I'd fail and not get my money back for it. I feel like more doors would open up for jobs if I could get it. I wasn't very good with my coding classes and the statistics stuff plain old terrifies ...

to start somewhere new. I tried 3 other companies in the past, part time while continue to work at MQ, and left each one because the software was so much better at MQ. Finally, I got sick of the crap and threats and new accounts, and I left. The day I left I was dancing around my house all day long, so relieved to be rid of them. Now, I make less than my base at MQ, but I have no ASR, so it's actually more. The software is not as good, but that is a minor ...
