Excellent post -- thanks Amber!!!! - nm

Amber - great post!! I remember selectrics....sm
And stayed on the Selectric for nearly 10 years pre-word processing computers (pre-Internet). I remember, we had no self-correcting - we had to use a white tape to remove a letter. But in those days, I did 2000 lines PER DAY!!! At 6 CPL. And I worked 5-1/2 days a week in their office. I had 12 accounts there. So, I know my value and I know I'm not making my line counts for the BIG national since 1/1/06. 
I agree with you that MTs will always be necessary. I too have been doing VR for about nearly 2 years and it all comes in terribly garbled via VR and we have to make it all nice and professional looking. I love VR though today, I rarely get any VR reports. Don't know where they have been farmed out to either.
Thanks for your insightful post!!! I, too, am tired of the moaning and groaning....something I never *indulge* in. All this complaining is an indulgence in my mind.
Be well and thanks again for your insightful post!!
Good post, Amber. And true, too. All professions
restructuring. But anyone with eyes can see that even though the MT profession has changed, there's still a TON of work out there. You know, it behooves the employers out there to have doom and gloom run rampant and the MTs thinking that they can't do any better than 6-8 cpl. Sometimes I wonder if they're the ones spreading most of the doom and gloom, and then some naive MTs are picking it up and shouting it too!
