I have sent out hundreds of resumes, taken several online tests and have still not landed my first position yet.  Office positions that I applied for were given to experienced MTs.  Now I am running into problems with internet servers.  I live in the country so the only option I have for internet services are dial-up and satellite.  Satellite runs about $100 a month.  Most of the at-home positions that are available require DSL or high speed.  I live so far out that the phone company doesn't know when DSL will be available in our area.  I need a break!  Does anyone else feel the same?

How much experience does the average MTSO have when they step out on their own? 

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

I, on the other hand, had my children in my mid to late 30's.  I'm 45 and have a 12 and 5 year old.  At 50, I'll have a teenager and another one who will be right behind him.  There is definitely something to be said for having your kids when you are younger, not to say I am not enjoying mine - I'll be pretty old when they are on their own. 

but I only ask for 12 cents and I don't feel I am asking too much for the area I am in.  I would even negotiate to 11, but no lower.  It is a pretty good deal for them, but maybe they'd rather use India!  If I wanted to hire someone, I could not go lower than 11.  I think this area has had a lot of soliciting because it pays a little higher.  Houses around here are $700,000 and who the he** can afford to work for less than 11 cents per line.

So make an extra $1000 for me!

Can't comment on working for DR as employee, but it is the same management/QA.  I work on only one account, if you work for DR directly I think you may work on more than one.  

Pay is average, but I am making lots of lines and $$ due to a platform I like (Word superimposed on their platform) and fair incentive.  My benefits through the hospital are excellent and very affordable (main reason for taking this position) with generous time off, etc. 

They do pay downtime, which is a plus if there is no work.  There are a lot of negative posts lately about them, but I have no particular complaints.         

I share your joy; my guilty secret pleasure is blogging where I can write to my heart's content.  Unfortunately, it does not pay the bills!

Please do tell who you are so happy with.  I'm interested in checking out other companies with a LITTLE flexibility, decent wage, PTO that doesn't require 6 to 8 weeks notice, etc.... and is not in India!   Curious in Ohio
