In Reply to: $60,000.00/Y for medical transcription?! - MTness

I have been in this profession for over 40 years. I attended one of these seminars and when I spoke up and caught the presenter in lies, she gave me looks that could kill. However, at the end of the evening, the people came to ask me questions, not her -- I don't think she sold many on her course that night. Perhaps if we did that more often, they would get the idea. I have never made $70,000 in all my years -- would love too. I have used all the tricks -- expanders, macro everything -- my kids used to wonder if I macro'd their names. Good luck in your future career.
