It's all relative
Up here in the Northeast I couldn't survive on $14.00 an hour - not if you got to support yourself, which I have to for me and my three children. I average $25.00 an hour, and even though that's not too bad, even that is pretty much chump change up here. Every time someone posts a survey about how much they make, there's a lot of MTs that seem to make in th$30-$50 an hour range. I'm going to keep looking till I find a job where I can make $40-$50 an hour. Then I'd be comfortable with killing myself to get in enough hours all the time.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that chump change is different to everybody. Personally I think at 8 cents a line you just have to work way too hard for your money.
Was it a relative?

cpl is relative
MQ: 10 cpl averaged (at the end) 160 to 180 lph.
At new company: 8 cpl, average 280 to 300 lph.
Although I do have a relative--sm
such as you describe, I have found that it is NEVER effective to tell her to *quit whining* *get off your butt and change your life if you are not happy* or *stop being a victim* types or responses to HER actions. It only serves to make things worse, and that is what YOU are doing, making it worse. You are NOT helping these people by yelling at them, and that is what you are doing, as well...yelling at them. You cannot *help* someone to *change their lives* by simply *telling* them to change their lives. Sometimes you have to sit back, quietly listen to their problems, and let them figure out things for themselves. Yelling at them to take control and change things on their own is only going to turn them in the other directions. You are not being, as you call it, *proactive*, you are simply dumping on the heads of someone who already feels like a *victim* and yelling at them not to feel the way they feel. That is not being *proactive* that is just plain being mean, and yes, I do see the difference, but you are not it. Sometimes people need to be taken gently by the hand and *guided* into a situation that would help to make their lives better, but simply telling them or yelling at them to *just do it* has never solved anything. ever. You need a good course in psychology 101! Yelling at people turns those people *off* and does not *motivate* them into doing better for themselves. You seem to think you are a *motivational* type person, but you are doing just the opposite. Leave them alone. Most of them will find their own way in their own time, without someone like you yelling at them to quit whining about their situations. Compassion and understanding is definately not among your strong points. Beind cruel and unkind is definately in your make up.
ESL is a relative term.
Just because they have an accent doesn't make them any more difficult to do than the average Joe. JMHO.
IMO, it's completely relative. sm
I have an account in Cquence which felt cumbersome at first, but then I got comfortable and produce as much there as I do typing, say, in Word offline. Recently I started a Meditech account and...hey! Cquence is absolutely wonderful compared to Meditech!! So my opinion of Cquence has gone up, for sure.
ESL is a relative term. We all know Dr. Joe EFL can be far worse! nm

Yes, "best" is a relative term but (sm)
I mean best based on info by MTs on this board and by docs in the industry who refer colleagues to this fast-growing MTSO. Guess which MTSO? I'm not saying  Actually, this icon looks like it is waving it's middle finger instead of pointy finger, so don't mean to offend and don't think I'll use it again (lol!)
It's all relative. Depending on where you live, that might not even pay for an apartment. nm
