You said Jumpstart was part of your MT training program?You needed to complete Jumpstart in order to complete your training?  May I ask what were the requirements to complete Jumpstart and go on to mt status?  Did you need to type a certain number of lines and hours in order to complete your internship?

I am in an internship program that stated 120 clock hours was required to complete the internship.  I recently learned  clock hours was determined by dividing lines typed by 200 lines per hour--which is what an mt "should"  do.  I was thinking I was nearing the end of my clock hours only to learn I have only a third of the  hours in. 

I should have asked how determination of clock hours is made, right at the beginning but I was dumb.  Once I started asking I couldn;t get an answer for over three weeks and then I had to call the person in charge to get an answer. 

Would like to hear the experiences of others involved in internship as a feature and requirement  of their schooling. The internship program is terrific.  When you get your diploma or certificate you already have experience which is invaluable.  I just wish I had been smart enough before starting internship to ask how the hours were determined.  Actually it should probably have been part of the information the transcription company put out prior to having interns begin.

I am wondering if any employers offer transcription opportunities where there are no minimum line requirements expected of the transcriptionist.  I know if you are employee status then you probably have the 10-12,000 line requirement for a pay period, but what about IC status?  Or part time?  Can someone please let me know if any MT employers offer "situations" where a transcriptionst has no minimum line requirement?

Thank you.

For those of you that do VR, I was wondering what your hourly  or daily line requirments are, if you work part-time or full-time, and how many hours you work per day.  Newbie in the field and I was just wondering what the "norm" out there was.
