I'm going to start a health care insurance company, charge exhorbitant premiums, and then not pay for anything.  Look out Barbados, here I come. 

and both inherited big bucks from their parents. My mother never worked a day in her life, including not caring for her kids. My Dad had a nice job. They made me work starting at age 12 to 13 as well. Work ethic? I went from being a kid to having to be an adult at 12. I never did anything fun on the weekends with my peers, like football games, soccer games - I had to work. I worked every day after school, and every weekend. And now I'm still plodding along working in my 50's. My kids don't have to work at 12 and 13. I want them to enjoy life while they can. This old work horse has great ethics, but had no childhood.

Mostly concerned about the quality of sound, pay scale decent, if the pay is on time, method of line counting fair, etc. 

Thanks!

(In Georgia)  How did you like it?  I'd love to hear both good and bad. 

Thanks in advance.

I'm an MT x10 years, great for growing family.  Now that kids are in school going back for BSN (R.N. plus bachelors combined).  Husband thinks I'm crazy.  I make $55,000+ as an MT because of production + incentive.  I transcribe 300+ lph and have an excellent line rate with a national.

I'm in the midwest, so as a BSN who does not get paid more than RNs here, I will take a huge pay cut, to the order of about $15,000 a year less.  Why am I doing it, because I want to be a nurse practitioner or a P.A. eventually and want to love what I do - that will be more money in the long run too with the higher degree.  I like being an MT, but working from home has turned me into a fat, lazy person who does nothing but type because it's easy money for me since I know the lingo and am well educated, plus I can type fast.

If you want to be a nurse, as another poster said - don't do it for the money, do it because you feel in your heart it is what you are meant to do because it is a very, very demanding job that requires a great deal of knowledge and skill.

It stands to reason if they built their own hospitals, which they could easily staff with all the Indian ESL dictators we currently struggle with (while we hand them the moneymaking easy ones on a silver platter), they then could do their own transcription for their own healthcare providers.  Why the heck won't big business invest in building them some of their own hospitals?  Because this is about profit, NOT altrusim for our fellow man!

Maybe you're going to retire in a couple of years, so you don't really care about the future of this industry.  But if not, when you lose your current job to outsourcing, will you still deny there's a problem?  Or will you take another job for less pay, again and again, until the industry completely leaves this country - then will you realize there's a problem?  When you are forced out of this industry, and find the competition for other types of work is harder than it used to be, will you see a problem then?

Its not just this industry being outsourced.  I grew up in Michigan!  Its turning into a ghost state due to loss of jobs to outsourcing.  That's an example of an entire state being affected, and its only one of many in the rust belt.  But I guess you don't know anybody there, so you'd rather sympathize with someone halfway across the world.  It is not ok to undevelop our country in order to develop others.  Maybe when our homeless shelters overflow and our streets are full of beggars, and every undeveloped company has cable TV and McDonalds on every corner, we'll quit being in denial at what we are allowing to happen under our very noses.  But by then it'll be too late for us to reverse this trend of trying to raise the rest of the world's standards at the expense of our own.

Which nationals do not send work out of the country? I need to find another job.

TIA.

and is willing to pay other than tech stuff? I know my son went to college for graphic design and he doesnt make much.
