VR

Just started with TT a short time ago but knew I would be doing VR from the start... but it was an account I wanted. It's on Escription and that is the best VR program I've seen. On Extent (which I do only if I run out my primary)  I have not tried VR yet. I can tell you at my former company, VR meant just what everyone worries about - paycheck cut in half.  But at another company where I have worked for 2 years, the VR is okay. I actually make just a little bit more money at it than I do with straight typing for them.   Just have to wait and see...   But this is why I have 2 jobs.  can't afford low/no work situations or big VR pay cuts.  Good luck...
