I loved your answer! Medical court stenographer! Years ago when my daughter was in middle school and I went to a conference, her teachers asked what I did--two of them had Master's degrees--and they said they never HEARD of a medical transcriptionist! One said, "You mean a secretary?" And yes, we have the "luxury" of sitting at home "just typing!" "Ain't" that a hoot???
