$100 in a 7hr dy w/ VR @3cpl?
Well, I have decided that I am such a slow typer that even an Expander can't help me. So.....I am considering going to VR at 3cpl. Is it possible to make at least $100 in a 7 hr day with VR? Its either this or Wal-mart Thanks
There's nothing "lucrative" about 3cpl work, even if
Have you seen: Internship offers 3cpl on Job Seekers Bd?
Even as an intern, that should be considered criminal. I don't understand what some companies are thinking when they do that sort of thing.
Just a thought.
Hey editors..is 3cpl a fair rate for rad?
I know different factors play into this, but given the best case scenario (platform, etc) is that about what the going rate is? This company offers an increase to 4cpl in 90 days, so just curious if this is in the right neighborhood for editing. If you have some not so great MTs, you could spend more time editing and giving feedback than they did typing it to start with..and only getting paid 1/2 or 1/3 of what they are getting paid. 
i think it is incredibly gross. personal hygiene commercials are just gross anyway.
this one is stupid and gross.
Zero. If I don't have the dollars, I don't buy it.
House paid off. Drive old cars. Make hard choices sometimes, but would rather postpone or do without sometimes for the peace of mind of no debt. It's not easy, but I highly recommend it!!
TWO dollars?
Just say NO! That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in weeks. Ortho fills up a lot of the page and I can't believe I am seeing this. Are you living in another country?
And you are willing to pay 100 dollars
to keep the ball rolling? I don't know... sounds fishy!
Another poll: Regarding our tax dollars.
In view of the increased cost of gasoline, housing, medical care, now heating and electric, when it comes to the tax dollars coming from YOUR income, would you prefer it go to:
A.) Those on welfare due to bad choices, those on welfare because they refuse to work, those on welfare due to unwed pregnancy, or those receiving governmental aid due to just being elderly and unable to work, or due to catastrophic illnesses or events such as Katrina.
or
B.) Those elected officials to use for their wives' tummy tucks, their children's daycare, their expensively catered business meetings with other elected officials (including water at $500 a case), their tax-funded trips with their families as "staff", and their million-dollar tax-funded pensions.
I did spend the 400 dollars too
Well, what can I say I just purchased the "software" two days ago.
And in the country I live 400 dollars is two minimun wages.-
So, I basically spent my savings in a promise, but only because I read that Alan is a minister of some kind, I just assumed a Pastor wouldn't be on the internet scaming people...
and I even talked to Alan.
Yes, I tip. Usually a couple of dollars but
if I have a lot of groceries, will make it $3. But last year on Christmas Eve when I had LOTS of groceries and the store was packed and it was pouring down rain and the sacker got soaked loading my groceries in my car, I gave him $5.
Robotype 3. It's about 8 dollars. nm

It's probably 40,000 Rupees, not dollars.

dollars and cents
 I get 6 cents a line for my work, but I work at MQ and am not an IC. I have been with them for 1.5 years. I was wondering myself what they got paid because I was considering getting a part time-full time gig for a second job. Now a days you almost have to.
ME TOO! I got mine for 4 dollars sm
on ebay. I am also down to my last one!
Canadian Dollars- probably French ESL nm

Yes, every other week, 78 dollars, 2200 sq ft. SM
To me it's worth every penny!
Were you playing dimes, dollars, or what ?
Am going in the next couple of months, and how much had you spent in machines?
That averages out to 21 to 25 dollars an hour
for radiology. I earn more than that per hour on acute care, but I don't work that many hours a week. How do you keep your arms healthy?
At Wal-Mart here, they start at 6.00 dollars an hour.

I'd bet dollars to donuts it'll be a rip-off, no doubt. - nm

if you made less than 600 dollars they don't legally have to claim it.
Just found that out also as last year my IC job only started in October and didn't make enough for taxes. This year will be different though. My employer said consider it free money. Can't argue with that. Checked with H&R Block and they confirmed it.
You are KIDDING? In a city where a 1bdrm condo is 300,000 dollars?

I am going to remove the LD from my home phone, and use the business line for all calls, then I will only have to pay about 35 above what I'm paying now. Not ideal, but the best deal I could find.

A gross line IS a gross line regardless if it's 90 characters long or 1 character long... SM
I'm very sorry that your lines are 90 characters line and you get paid by gross lines. You are cheating yourself - that's not my fault. You cannot change the definition of a gross line. So I gues I'm not understanding what you are trying to say. Now if you are trying to say that your line equals 90 characters and that's how you figure your lines, than you are not using gross lines. You have defined a line to be 90 characters, whereas most MTSOs define a line as 65 characters. If that is the case, then I must say again, you are cheating yourself.
So which is it, do you get paid by gross lines or by a 90 character line?
65-gross line vs.65-gross character line
Can someone explain the difference between these two? I am assuming that the gross line is better than the gross character line. How much better is being paid by the gross character line than just by the standard 65-character line? Does anyone know how much difference it would make in dollars and cents?
Thanks.
How do you know she is gross?
Do you personally know her? I dont' think so. Everybody has skeletons in their closet, hers are just magnified because she is in the public eye. Don't judge people you don't even know.
What was gross?
Perhaps you happened to look in a mirror instead.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

She is gross, but
I do like her Sierra Mist commercial
gross
Gross lines are anything on a line counted as a line, even if it is only a couple characters. I think 9 c/gross line is usually equal to about 12-13/65 cpl.
Gross!

that is so gross!
who would even come up with such a strange combination??
Gross pay - nm

I'd go with gross.
You'll spend more time doing the math unless you use a line counting program. JMO. Stick with the 12 cpl and don't short yourself. You may have some horrible dictators as well unless you already know how they dictate. The 12 cpl gross will make for that.
that's gross!
I had one of those once and what was also nasty was that he passed gas...a long trail...while urinating. He too stopped to talk to people. Maybe this is why doctor's are taught to wash their hands before each patient.
gross vs 65
Gross much better - anything typed on a line.
Gross or 65 cpl
I charge 12 to 12.5 gross lines but I pick up and deliver, print, etc.
this might be gross but...
i like to do a Google image search for many of the diseases from dictations i do. i find all of this terribly fascinating and it's kind of cool to be able to not only tell somebody what a particular condition is should they ask, but to be able to describe it to them in a visual sense as well.
i also enjoy working with my medical terminology flashcards when i have any downtime. sometimes my pool would be empty (especially toward the end of the month when all the people who slacked off during the first three weeks were scrambling to get their lines in) so i'd take advantage of that extra time to pay a bill online or throw some laundry in.
Per Gross Line Pay?
Being relatively new to MT, I'm not quite sure what being paid by the gross line is as opposed to being paid by a 65 character line. Can someone clear me up on this. Thanks much. 
gross line
I am paid by the gross line whether one word is on it or 10 or 12, the same amount.
If you are paid by 65 character line, you take the characters and divide by 65 or use Sylcount whereas you are can then paid for each keystroke, i.e. capitalization, underline is two characters, etc. YOu have to define what a line is or what a character is.
gross line
Thanks Patti!!
No....only if you are doing gross lines- nm

gross commercials lol
This actually was a comedy routine about them, remember Balki anyone? Forgot the show but he was here in the US living with his cousin?
He did a comedy stint about his first nice, sit down dinner in America. He was having his boss & family over and wanted to do it just right, so he went to the grocery.
"Can you believe what you can find in America, they already sanitize your napkins, so all you have to do is put silverware on them and your table is set"..But he was having trouble with the spoon rolling off the "Sanitary Napkins". OMG thought I'd lose it. Then he added the gourmet jelly...KY jelly "it is what the state of Kentucky is famous for so it must be good"..that was a good but gross stint.
gross line
6 is a good gross line rate when you figure it is equal to at least 8.5 if it were counted at 65 characters, most companies don't want to pay more than 7-8
gross lines
One can do far better in a day when counting gross lines rather than character counted -- especially if very familiar with the accounts (of course, that helps either way :).
11 cpl gross equals what on a 65?
