VR isn't that bad for me

In Reply to: Open letter to MDI and other employers going to VR - so disappointed

Don't get me wrong, I prefer straight typing all day day long, but I can still make enough money with VR.  I do about 80% VR and 20% straight typing.  I make 4 cpl with VR, 8 cpl with straight transcription.  I have to make sure I hit 60 reports a day (doesn't matter length, type, just 60).  So I work until I hit 30 reports, take a break, come back and do 30 more reports.  I am averaging $130-$160 (once $200) a day.  I used to make more 5 years ago, but I guess it's bettter than nothing.  This takes me 8 hours.  There are times when it has taken 10.  For me, I find it very BORING, but as far as being able to make money, it's not that bad considering I can stay at home and do it.  Please don't blast me because I'm okay with it.  I do think the 4 cpl is a joke.  The amount we get paid for traditional typing doesn't even matter, as some days I only get 2 reports I actually get to type! 


We just have to do the best we can with what we are given.  Right now, this is all we are being given!
