They seem legit.
When I did an internet search, they were there and nothing stood out with a big red flag. It looked like the startup costs were only like $30. I would be more leery if they had asked for hundreds of dollars upfront etc. They were not listed with BBB..so they could be good..or not I guess, but I think if all you have to invest is time (which sounds minimal) and $30, why not. Now, if they require A LOT of time and more money, I definitely wouldn't be jumping into anything. JMO
It is most definitely a legit company.
Any smart newbie should jump at it. Five cents per line for basically being mentored is not that bad, especially when you consider all the scammers out there who want newbies to work for free or pay for the privilege of working. I'm sure the company will give raises and work the person into a fulltime job.
Yes, that legit way to do it, too. Just depends

MT w/disabilities...it's a legit site
My sister does work through them. She does a lot of VA reports because the VA has to have so much of a percentage of disabled workers doing their transcription. This organization also has agreements with ATT, FTD, etc, many mail order catalogs type of companies where the work can be done with a computer from hom.
She has been with them for 3 years now I think and it is legit.
Need legit MT school on line... help!
Hey there,
I'm an RN looking to earn some extra income while at home with my son. I'm finding so many schools on-line that are a bunch of scams! Can anyone refer me to a legit school? Does anyone know of a course that would be geared more towards someone that already has medical experience? I need lots of advice.
His resume doesn't even look legit. The DNA
I wouldn't be suprised if he is doing this for the attention. His resume is so far off the wall I can't believe anyone would hire this wacko!
I considered your question legit as well
Especially in light of what went down the other night, which you mentioned earlier.
FL University
Could it be Webster?
Umm, no the OP, but I read the article and it looks pretty legit.
I don't listen to country music, but even if I did, I'd probably boycott the guy. A living thing shouldn't be tortured whether it's tame or wild.
University of Phoenix
I did some checking several years ago and I found from my research that University of Phoenix was the one with the most prestige as far as on-line degrees. You have to be careful, because some of the places offering these are not worth the paper they are printed on, to an employer. But, I found that UOP actually is the *best* of the on-line universities. I didn't enroll, but I seriously considered it. It is extremely expensive and I've heard from someone I know who was a student with UOP, that it is challenging (she worked a full-time job in addition to her classes), but she really loved it. Unfortunately, I've lost touch with her now and I have no idea if she ever finished and got her degree.

To the woman whose husband is a student there: Racism is corrosive. It will ruin your heart and your soul. Please look into your heart and see what is behind all of this hatred. Hate is never the answer.

University of Phoenix!!! LOL
Duh- yeah!
if they're legit, why are older versions still for sale (sm)
If you go to the real Stedman's website, you'll see that even older versions are still being sold - they're not being given away by Stedman's.
At the very least these are bootleg copies that you're not supposed to have unless you paid for them and that means they're not legit in any way.

The SH people have always been helpful and prompt with instructions. Ask them if your copy is legit.

I took a Barnes & Noble University course recently about
simplifying your life. It wasn't so much about uncluttering your house as it was about finding your inner happiness. Amazingly, it worked. I excavated the junk out of the house and we did some quickie painting and swapping out furniture. Then I quit all the part-time, temp jobs, and volunteer obligations that did not give me fulfillment. I took all that energy and sunk it into my MT work AND my life's dream. It's amazing how much better things are going since I don't have all those other things in my life. I have time for hobbies, I'm making decent money at MT for the first time ever, and I don't have to search the job ads for "something better" any longer.

Try big cancer websites like for Sloan-Kettering in NYC or John Hopkins University, maybe www.onco

I agree. I work for an exceptionally difficult university and those people dictate on cell phones in
trains, in cars, everywhere and they cut out and they just have an exceptional amount of residents dictating on anything imaginable. My blanks are never for words I dont know they are for crappy dictators or those that simply dont know what they are talking about.
