I understand how frustrated many people are with the way things are going with MT jobs. I am not posting this to make anyone feel worse, but to let people know that there are some good jobs in MT. I work for a private local medical office. I had been worried, too, as our office offered voice recognition to docs and some use it. A lot got frustrated, mostly the ones who want their notes to be correct, and went back to using our services. I had even been looking at online MT jobs, but had to have benefits. Then our office decided to put us on production and sent us home to work. I am practically in heaven! 8 hour days, getting paid on production, not by the hour. I am making way more this way and not having to fight traffic to get to work. We all love it, and the docs are happier, too because their turn-around time is way better. (Funny how when you pay someone what they are worth they will work their fingers off!)
