Salaries - old and burned out
Posted: Oct 13, 2011
I found out today that a local community pays teenagers $11 an hours for temporary summer jobs. Are you making $11 an hour? Does an MT with 20 years experience deserve more than a teenager with a summer job? I still work for MQ because it's just a few hours a week to supplement SS. If I were younger, I would do anything and everything I could to get the heck out of here.
Salaries - Nature
[ In Reply To ..]Do you work 24 hours? I also work part time to supplement SS (which I took early and gave up half for doing so).
Flexible part-time - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]I became flexible part-time when I still had the chance so only 16 hours. I waited until full retirement age to take SS and am glad I did. I keep expecting MQ to tell me I have to go back to 24 hours and am not sure what I would do. I can barely tolerate 16.

MT Salaries
Aug 15, 2010
I was looking at the job postings at the local hospital and noticed something very odd. The hospital here is hiring kitchen aides with no experience or education and the pay offered is $700 a month more than what they are offering for their MT positions. Kitchen helpers are starting at $2769/month while MTs are starting at $2069. Something is wrong with that picture. I was thinking of applying as an MT, but now thinking maybe I should just apply as a kitchen aide. I ...
SALARIES OF CCMs
Apr 07, 2012
Just curious but how much money do the CCMs make? I've never been able to find an answer to this question. Also, do you have to have a certain number of years transcription experience to be a CCM? I'm not interested in the position, just curious. I've also never understood why sometimes communcation with them is bad. Why do they go for days without sending out emails to the MTs sometimes? ...

Coding Salaries
Jan 24, 2015
I say "sorry" in advance if this has been posted before, but I am new to the Coding forum. I plan to get out of MT and go into Coding. I have decided on The Andrews School. I have a contact who is the CEO of a remote coding business, and she highly recommended this school. When just quickly talking about salary, she said coders make between 50K to 60K, which would be wonderful. What I am wondering is ..... are coders paid by production or hourly. Thanks for any i ...
MT Salaries - Upping The Anty
Feb 28, 2011
I have been an MT for over 25 years - In 1982, I was making 10 cents a line. In 2011, I am making 10 cents a line, which doesn't even include Capital Letters! I have read many posting on this site complaining about lack of income....and what I've realized is WE have sold out our profession by being willing to not demand higher salaries; yes, we have competition from outsourcing companies around the world who are willing to work for peanuts, but with all the new HIPPA rules, etc., this ...

Do You Think That As The Economy Improves That Industry Wide Salaries Will Begin To Improve?
Sep 22, 2010
I know and accept the fact (albeit grudgingly) that ASR and offshoring are the wave of the future, but do you think that as the economy improves that things will cycle and what we do will once again become valued with the recognition of our value being reflected in higher salaries? Or do you think that the unhappy reality is that regardless of the economy salaries will either remain stagnant or continue to trend downward? Thanks in advance for your input. ...
