big bucks - loving MTing

Posted: Nov 03, 2009

This profession is awesome. You can make big bucks. Not unheard of to start out making about $14/hour. If you work hard and really plug away at it, you may be making twice that in a few years. :<{

that's a seriously vague comment. You know it depends on many things. - which I will list here for you.

When we used to get steady accounts where we could use macros, not have to struggle to find the patient information, not have account specifics different for each account, get paid for headers and footers so that you could devote your time to typing and not run out of work regularly.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

To those making 50+ K a year: I'm glad to know that in this industry it is still possible to make a decent living! I LOVE transcription! I've been an at-home MT for about 5 years and see the potential, but seem to get easily distracted being at home and get restless and can't sit still.

First, don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to be negative about this in any way and wish any new MT success. However, with this profession dying like it is and even very experienced MTs just trying to eke out even $10 an hour . . . It really aggravates me all of these MT schools and courses trying to suck innocent people in with their high tuition costs, etc. The fact is that nowadays it is akin to going and paying x amount of money to go work for $10 or less an hour. These schools/c ...

So she signed up for this teach yourself transcription course, captured and enraptured by all its 'carnival barking' about the money, the prestige, and the convenience of working at home and being your own (uh-huh) boss...offering the world on a platter and stopping just shy of suggesting she could meet/marry a doctor.
