I'm not sure if your repeated posts about MTs going into this field only to be able to stay home are specifically referring to my original post, but if that is what you mean, I wanted to let you know that in my situation, that is not the case. I worked for an opthalmology clinic for about 2 years and then for a small transcription service for about 6 years. My daughter was about 3 years old at that time. The thought never even occurred to me that I might be able to work from home one day. Frankly, I just didn't know that was a possibility at the time. But, I still loved MT'ing.
Then, when I became pregnant with my second child and started looking into other options to increase my income, I jumped on the opportunity to work at home for Medquist. So I have been home ever since. That was 8 years ago. Not that this is relevant, but I don't work for MQ anymore! However, I will be forever grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to be able to work from home, which is a huge challenge when you are accustomed to being able to call another MT over to your desk to take a listen to a tough word!

Minnie--If your kids are grown, then you must be in my age bracket (an old timer, ha-ha). One hears so much about ''burn out'' and that this is a young person's profession so it is encouraging to read about your production. Like you, it was not a ''home''job when I started out and when I did come home years ago, I thought my production would sky-rocket but the reverse has been true--I think because I have been ''babying'' myself. Anyway, your posts are very inspiring.
Well, I am a skinny minnie and can't do that
RA has a tendency to make you feel a lot older than you are.
Oh but I used to get my legs up there once upon a time. Those were the good old days, free of painful hips.:)
Minnie - Do you have a family? (sm)
I'm just curious - If you have kids, are they grown and out of the house now? I guess if I were alone 24 hours a day, my production would be out of this world as well. If you do have family still at home, how do you manage to keep them quiet while you are working? :)
Do you have kids, Minnie?

Minnie, you are showing your
ignorance. You must get off on bashing people? Are you that miserable of a person? I think it is safe to assume that you don't have much of a life, probably because no one can stand being around someone so negative. Grow up!!
But, but, but ... they always sound like Mickey or Minnie Mouse to me!
... at least on the speed I play them. :o>
Well, give Minnie a gold star. SM
Like or not, Minnie, some of us got into this profession because it allows us to be at home, run our households, and work at the same time.
Minnie you have to be the angriest person I have seen on this board
What up with that. No one is whining. We are doing a job. It is boring as sin and we all have a life beyond this job, which you don't seem to have. All anyone doing is venting through some of the rough spots that we all have from time to time. Give it a rest will ya
I like Minnie and Pearl and Glenda. This thread is not very nice. nm
