I'm not going anywhere

In Reply to: Yeah, and the really sad thing is they will lose the GOOD MTs. - Another TT MT

and I'm a good MT, so I've been told by many over a few decades. I've always been a high producer. I don't love VR per se, but I love that it's prolonging my MT career because it's saving my poor old arms. I make just as much money if not more than straight typing and so much more easily. I'm respected and appreciated. No, I'm not leaving. And I'm a good MT.
