A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Took a test for a city job and just got notice that I did not pass. I was on of over 300 people who took the test. Happy for those that passed but wish I would have been one of them. I believe I bombed in the math calculations. Boy is it ever a kick in the pants with regard to self-esteem to know that I cannot even pass a simple test. What can an old timer like me do when all I ever have done is transcription? Feelling about as low as possible right now. I will keep trying and looking. Too young to retire but too old to compete with 20-somethings and 30-somethings. Was never a really good student in the past so don't think that going back to school is in the picture as well as not being able to afford it. Struggling to pay bills now like everyone else. Hoping, and praying, that better days are ahead. I deserve some positives as the last couple of years have really been bad.
