Your school should have some sort of placement program that should help you get some sort of placement assistance.  As for working at home, I started working at home right off the bat and did okay.  I worked for 4 months for an Oncology practice and am back working at home again - they decided to go back to outsourcing their stuff.  Anyhoo, there are some companies that will hire a newbie.  You just have to keep at it until you find the one that likes the look of your resume and is willing to take a chance.  Good luck.

Where can you get an AA degree for $2K?
It is over $2000 a semester at our local college (4 semesters for AA degree), not including books or fees or anything, and we are the lowest in our state.

No employer ever cared if I had a degree or not. They did
All the employers have ever cared about is whether I could do the job the way they wanted it done. Never once has anyone even asked about a degree. In this industry I don't think it's that helpful, because most of the degree programs teach you everything except how to transcribe. The employers know that. It's not a selling point on your resume. So if you have a degree, that's fine. Degrees are good. You also need to have training on there that shows you can transcribe.
being able to make 40,000 year without a college degree is pretty good. I'm happy.
