Is there any age limit to be a transcriptionist? Could a 16-year-old do it? Thanks!

Usually there is no limit.
As an IC, you are not considered an employee where the company would only give you a certain amount of time. I have taken time off sporadically as an IC, and the company has not said a word. They actually thanked me for giving notice. I guess on the norm even notice isn't required. I just thought it courteous to give the company a few weeks to maybe find a replacement for that time period. It has never been a problem whether it be a day off or 10 days off. If I only need a day off though I don't even tell them, I just don't take the work. The IC position I have though is an actual IC position in that I am not assigned work. It is a typing pool basically, so if I do not want to work that day, I just don't take any work. It has neve been a problem. This type of arrangement in my opinion is true IC status. 
If you want to limit yourself, as IC that is your

Not sure about age limits, but you need to check out training programs before anything else. Check out this link: http://www.ahdionline.org/scriptcontent/mtschool.cfm
but limit I think 250 lines a day...nm

There is not a limit, but for some reason it
deletes entries and you have to start all over again.
limit internet
I, like you, want to make more money this year. . I am going to start by trying to limit my time surfing the net while working. . I have had a problem getting bored in the past. . but my resolution is to just stick to my 8-hour work day with maybe only 1 little internet break during the shift. .
If you retire and go on SS, there is a set limit--sm
you can earn per month, if you continue to work, or they will reduce your SS income per month by how much over the set amount you are allowed. NOT a pension retirement, SS retirement.
I don't think there is a time limit -
I live in Georgia also and the only reason we ever had notes on the charts was for insurance purposes. If the note is not transcribed, you are not supposed to bill insurance. Other than that, there is really no legal reason that the chart has to be dictated.
Now, ethically and for continuation of care purposes, yes, it needs to be done.
The doctor I worked for used to dictate, but it might get transcribed in a week and it might get transcribed in a month.
We put frank away. as for your questions, please limit them
to inquiries about chapstick. Number one, do not leave them in the sun as they will melt. Any and all other questions I'm forced to get back to you at a later time, be vague or better yet not respond to you at all. Good day. 
You can but you may blow up autocorrect because there is a limit
to how many entries you can put in autocorrect. The Productivity Talk forum has instructions.
You may be at your limit for the accounts you type on - sm
Those are not bad line counts. It really depends on the docs you can get and if they say literally the same thing again or again or say *use my normal.* I used to for years do 500-600 lines an hour when I had docs who were fast talkers who used all kinds of normals and I had a much smaller pool of them (say 30-40 docs). I now work from a HUGE pool of docs, all acute care, from 5 different hospitals with very different account specifics for each hospital. A good day for me is 250-275 lines an hour no matter how fast I slam the keyboard. You may be doing the best you can do with the accounts you have. :-)
Doubt any way can earn more than the limit of

When she took retire. she agreed to 900 limit.

It will not affect MT's. I think the limit is 250GB and
the tech people with my company says an MT uses around 2GB/month. Even if that is a conservative figure, still leaves you a lot of GB.
also remember that they limit how much you can withdraw
from your Paypal account every month, otherwise they'll require you to upgrade your account which tacks on another fee.
I only use Paypal to get paid as a last resort and then I use the fees as a writeoff. If I can wait for a snail mail check, I will.
I don't know if they get paid but I know they limit the people who will buy with these crazy name
Can you imagine having to say I live at 555 Squirrel Run or 555 Wild Turkey Walk for the next 10-20 years? Just the image of squirrels and wild turkeys alone would force me to look elsewhere. Got any good names for streets?
$3.40 in eastern NC. I just sat in line for an hour to get gas, and they had a $35 limit. nm
There is also a limit. People in expensive cars
pulling up to stand in line for free money. Doctors and lawyers, supposedly respected business owners, etc who really did not lose that much, at least not to the point where they can't recover on their own. Help the ones who can't help themselves but the ones who can help themselves should be ashamed!
Use a timer and limit yourself, you'll feel much better

What state are you in? There is time limit that applies
In Calif, 45 days past due is enough for default to go into effect. Then, my loan goes to atty's desk and they begin collection.
I would say to you to pay your mtg before anything else at all other than food/utilities and insurance for medical care.
sorry, didn't realize there was a time limit. I
personally just read some of the posts.
1400 - that's about my limit - and a real good day

welcome, you dont' pay to send out or receive until you go over a certain limit. sm
i use several different email addies with them so that when i run out of room, i change to a different acct to send work/receive work.
Mobile broadband 5GB limit with ALL carriers
I signed up with Sprint last year when it was unlimited, and starting in July 2008, they put a cap of 5GB, which is what all the other carriers had done also. That said, if you are using the connection mainly for work, the cap should not be a problem. I downloaded a program that keeps track of my usage as well as use the Sprint site to check it occasionally. You can't be downloading tons of MP3s or watching a lot of youtube or other video things during each month, but it doesn't have to be completely avoided either.
You already asked on one board. Aren't you supposed to limit it to one?
check there.
How about setting a monetary limit and give choices, sm
such as: Would the MT rather have PTO, a Stedmans reference book of choice, or cash?
I think the amount of work sent to QA is is very bad idea to limit that. I can understand QA reviews
but to limit the amount of work to QA to get a bonus which is my understanding will cause people to not send things to QA when the dicator makes an obvious error and you dont want to chance correcting it. There are extremely bad dictators and depending on where they are dictating the noise can be horrendous on the phone lines or cells or whatever they are doing. My goodness, you have an attitude.
It's kinda like playing a gameshow every day! Beat That Production Limit!
does anyone know about a 3-limit install on DocShuttle, Wavplayer and other Bytescribe products? sm
they told me after three installs, even if I buy a new computer, I have to buy the program all over again, at $100 a pop. Has anyone else ever been told this? Sounds like a rip off to me.
When do you sleep or have a life outside of MTing? Haven't you reached your limit already?!! nm

Kids at home? What ages and do you limit their internet usage?
We have a 15-year-old that is limited to 1 hour on the internet when school is not in session, and we have parental controls that allow us to see everything she has done while she was on line.
What about your household?
