I am sorry that this post bothers me so much. I went to school for MT, then found it very hard to find immediate employment from home. I worked in a pharmacy for 2 years, then as a medical secretary for 1 year, then finally through a friend, I got a job through a local MT company. I am now working for a national company.
I don't know if you have schooling or not, so this is not directly in response to you personally.
I know a girl who was wanting to get into MT. She did one of the cheapy MT courses, did a few reports, never finished. She wanted to apply at my place of employement. I said that she can apply if she wants to, but they want 3 years experience. She applied, did not do well, and did not get the job. She then asked why won't they just give her a chance? Well, I honestly would like to be a psychiatrist. I wish they would just give me the chance.
My point is that I think this is a hard career, not just a job that anyone can do.

Ahhh, Russell Crowe! Stud muffin.
Ahhh, so you've chosen to work for a service
 There are others who are still gaining their own accounts. Sometimes, you have to seek and you shall find. The larger companies and even smaller for that matter are gaining accounts to prove that voice recognition is not the majority. Just because you chose to take less does not mean that everyone in this profession has. So, your opinions are fine for your situation, but to state that everyone's salary and this profession has gone downhill is simply not true. I, for one, have a lot more now than I have ever had in my lifetime, and I have a lot of experience. The in-house position was holding me back. When you get paid per hour instead of production, it seems you get jipped. If you work production and are good at what you do, it is not too bad of a salary. Everyone has a different situation. MTblab is getting out, which is great for her since she is moving into another phase of her life. Of course, she is going to post that it is a horrible profession because she is not happy with what she has been served. Misery LOVES company. You do have a choice in what type of work you take. If not happy, again, seek and you shall find. I am so happy to be  , because I make the rules. Okay, I am off of my  now. Take care.
