For every crappy course that's out there (sm)

SOMEBODY will pop up and say, "I took that course, and I got a job." Sure, some people get lucky. But for every couple of people who post that they were able to get a job, there's a LOT of people who can't get a job. "Everyone wants 2 years of experience." That's true, but with a GOOD education (Andrews or M-TEC) that 2-year requirement is WAIVED at many places.

So if you don't really care about finding a job when you finish, go ahead and take a crappy cheaper course. Then you can join the ranks of people posting all over the internet that they can't get a job, "because everyone wants 2 years' experience."

That simple, easy, clear dictation practice is what the crappy schools use.
Then the person graduates, thinks they know what they're doing, and are totally shocked when they start trying to do REAL MT work. One of many reasons these cheap, crappy, found-out-about-it-on-a-matchbook-cover schools AREN'T recommended.
