think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour

100,000/year - no way. I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days - sm
AND I DO NOT CLEAR $100,000/YEAR.


what's not to believe - I said that I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days AND DO NOT MAKE - sm
I DO NOT MAKE $100,000/YEAR

try READING the post.
$35/hour x five 10-hour days = $1,750 gross/week.

$20 an hour is not even average for radiology. You should not make less than $25-30 per hour. sm
I work for Keystrokes and have for 3 years. I average 25 reports an hour, which is $31.25 an hour. I have 401, health insurance, direct deposit, life insurance. My lead tells me I'm wonderful when I talk to her, but I do not need a daily pat on the back.

I also have a good friend who works for them on a clinic. She only makes 0.08 per line but does 300 lines an hour, which is $24 an hour, again higher than your $20.

I don't think we're selling ourselves short. There are companies out there that are good to work for, 6 or 8 of them that I know of personally. Don't settle for $20 an hour.
Well if I could do 500 lines per hour, I would be making 35.00 an hour. sm
nothing to sneeze at. More than fair for having a 2-year degree. Come on people, we are all acting like we expect 6-digit incomes! Whatev!
If that's $9.50 an hour, that would be just under 6.5 cpl at 150 lines an hour. nm

Are there any QAs out there that are getting paid by the hour at 15+/hour? If so, where are you and
how are the work conditions/requirements/benefits,etc?
For example, I count every hour on the hour with my job
and while I was posting here and also checking email in between I averaged $22 an hour for 2 hours, not bad for someone who is a) slow or b) does not have a lot of time in transcription work; therefore making me a prime candidate for VR.
oops

I meant Transcription Solutions


Have read archived posts about their software being not user friendly.  Is this still true?


Oops. SM
Out-sourcing comes up, not offshoring.  What does outsourcing mean? 
oops! LOL
Let's start our own company!!! ... or maybe the OP will take pity on us heehee
oops
Guess I should also know how to SPELL hyphenated, huh?
OOPS! You did it!
The S should be capitalized and DAH isn't a word. Oh my!!
OOPS
OOPS...sorry...was in too big of a hurry. Guess that if people were perfect spellers...we wouldn't need spell check programs FOR THIS PROFESSION. DUH!!!
Oops!

Sorry! I didn't see further on down that moderator had said no posts on OSi for some reason. Guess I missed something that was deleted.

Oops. sorry

I believe that a should be an e in privilege  


I am sigining off and going to bed. 


Oops P.S.
IF you are concerned with burning bridges (always a good idea) and/or will need them as a reference, then perhaps you want to keep a lower profile than I just suggested ;) You can still refuse the severance pay and signature, but keep the sarcasm to youself.

Smile.


oops
and, unh, duh, I used to be able to spell the word but . . .
oops me again!
I know, should be sounds.  I forgot my S.  I forgot to ask, does anybody know where the Axolotl company is located (state)?  Just curious. 
Oops! My bad! Well, whatever...nm

Oops!
I meant this is the only way to get my foot to the right job by going back to school part-time. So many colleges offer online courses that you can do from your home, but of course you have to go to the actual school to take your tests like in math, etc., so you do not get caught cheating. It's really worth completing your education these days. I figured my daughter will be able to come home on her own in about 3 years, so I should be able to find a decent job by then rather than making 6 or 7 cents a line as an MT. I cannot get anywhere with that kind of money.
oops
oops - I think I posted that backwards - you should make more doing the 55 line - sorry!
Oops!!!
My fault, excuse..
oops!
I thought I was posting to Me about the expectations of big business . . . sorry
Oops, I mean ME, not my. Sorry

Nah, when someone says they will call soon, I would keep them to their word. I now work for a company who types for the hospital I typed for, so I'm good
