Adaptability

I can and have adapted to ESLs because I have had no choice. They're everywhere. I could adapt to VR if I had no other choice but I could not and would not adapt to the poverty wages paid for this....4 to 6 cents a line. The MTs I know who are so kindly adapting to VR cannot produce the 2500 lines a day required to make a decent living. I would rather work at Burger King than strain my cranium to make an employer rich while I struggle to make a living with VR. There will always be someone who needs a transcriber, not an editor. I will be glad when I can retire and get out of this absurd situation with doctors who won't dictate properly and hospitals and MT liaisons who won't require them to. I don't feel like a professional. I feel like an abused word processor.
