Where I work we have VR. It has allowed us to return from 30 FTEs to 9 FTEs!! This is a significant saving for the company. I let my employees either edit or retype. The choice is up to them. Of course, we pay by the hour anyway so as long as they are productive the choice is up to them.

We have to think outside the box with VR. It is not going to go away!

There are realities and unrealities in ANY profession--sm
not just the world of MT. If you go to any job posting board, the employer always makes their positions sound much more interesting and the eventualities of income sound more impressive than they really are. I think this would be a waste of your time. sorry. JMO

Explain to them the realities of life, and hopefully they'll bend.
