My child worked part-time at 14 after school
Posted By: and that was 11 years ago.....sm on 2006-07-12
In Reply to: Apology accepted, but...sm - teens working? sm
She started at minimum wage and now is an office coordinator and medical assistant for 2 surgeons making much better money (and goes to school at night). She didn't work at 14 to pay for her stuff. She stashed all the money away as she had always done with birthday and holiday money and so at 17 she bought her own car! This child amazes me - she GOT the work ethic!!!! *lucky mom here* Actually it was more than luck....it was hard work on my part but it ALL paid off. A lot of it was based on my own insanity. I had to know if, G_d forbid something happened to me, that she could support herself, take care of herself, earn a good living, and keep on keepin' on in a forward-moving pattern. She is doing just that!!
Proud mother here....

i have 4 in school and only allow one activity per child per time. sm
oldest is just basically not involved as she wants to "hang out with friends" at games, etc. 10 and 9yo both are in cheerleading, practice 2 days a week for 2 hours, games on saturdays. 7yo in cub scouts, maybe one gathering a week at most. it is hectic enough just getting each child to where they gotta go, keep up with house, homework, chores, and work for me. no way, can we do more than 1 activity per child at any given time. nowadays they have homework 1-2 hours per night and highschooler with honors has sometimes 2-3 hours a night after being at school for what 8 hours....
I started part-time in a doc's office while still in high school. sm
That was in 1984. My career just bloomed from there......
I worked part-time in a hospital sm
radiology department for a copule years and they did the floppy disk thing. They were huge compared to now. We didn't have a main frame at that time. Your format stuff was on the "system disk" you put in on the left nad then your disk with your work went into the right hand slot. It was this big huge monster of a "computer" thing.
Has anyone worked as a housecleaner part time?
I was just hired on for about 15 hours a week to supplement my MT income (or lack thereof). I'll be cleaning residential homes. Anyone ever do this for awhile to help pay bills, and if so, how bad is it?? : )
I, too, worked most of the weekend part-time....sm
We had Thursday and Friday as holidays, but since I knew there was a backlog and that it would truly be appreciated by my bosses, I dug in from time to time and we got the backlog caught up for today. I truly treasure my bosses and love my job, and all the co-workers I talk to feel the same way. We really do appricate and value a great MTSO and we prove it!!
I worked part-time for someone like that and they used the QA % to keep from paying bonuses
the QA % to keep from paying bonuses and I think that is so wrong. I no longer work for them.
Most of the reports that I had sent in were sent because the quality of the file was bad. it had a lot of skips and jumps in it and it could not be filled in.
They required 10%. The closest I got was 33%.
I think it is so wrong to require a %.
Does anyone know if you are a part time employee for 1 company and part time IC for another can you
still claim deductions for IC on your income tax even though you are one of each.
Depends on how part time the part time jobs are.
You can do it. You just have to work out a schedule you can live with.
If he were my child I'd home school in a nannosecond and here's why...sm
I don't believe in putting kids on antidepressants if there's a problem that can be addressed without medication. With his medical problems that you mentioned he's probably having some kids at school harrass him.... and when he gets older he'll be able to select situations to get into that will limit this type of social trauma.
With home schooling growing in popularity you can easily plug him in with others who are around his age and home schooling. Here in Georgia they've even gotten some home schooling football teams and bands up because so many kids are home schooled now to help them feel more like the "regular" kids.
I have a child now that unless the public middle school is significantly cleaned up by the time she gets that age that I'll be home schooling her as there's no way in heck I'm sending her to that pit. A lot of parents in my area home school their middle school kids because the middle school here is horrendous between the crappy teachers who don't give a toot, the bullying and overall poor attitude by a lot of people at that school. Fortunately the demographics in our area are changing so hopefully as more expensive homes are built our county will put more emphasis on cleaning up this particularly bad school. We'll see.

I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school

what is an IEP? my child has dyslexia and i have a meeting tomorrow morning at the school. sm
we moved to a new school at middle semester last year. prior school had awesome dyslexia program. now the program is all a "tape" that they watch. no extra time to finish assignments, nothing. she went from A's and B's to failing since our move. how can i force this school to obtain a true dyslexia teacher to work with my child and surely other children that need help?
Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
You should take this as far as you can. The next time it may be a child on the other end of the

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
Your time at home with your child is so
Your child is better with you..being near the sounds, the smells, the love of mom. I recognize that some moms have to put their children in daycare, but to rationalize it that they are "better off" there because if you stay at home with them and work, they aren't getting enough attention just isn't right. You find a way to give them the love and attention they need. Is daycare going to sit there and give your child one-on-one attention all day? Are you prepared to have your child be sick all the time? My daughter has barely had a cold in her first five years of life. It's just a cop out to think that daycare is actually better.

In time past my child was diagnosed
with a disease that is catastrophic. He was in college and quit that day. I was employed in hospital setting and immediately sat up Cobra, and carried it for about 4 months I think until which time he got a job and got his own medical insurance. My insurance covered as long as the child was in college. I knew with the disease if no insurance bridge would never be able to be covered again and with the cost of the medications needed just an overwhelming thought and even though I have money, would never be able to cover the costs of thousands every month to be paid out.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

POLL: Home School vs. Charter School vs. Public School vs. Priv ate School...
Pros and cons of each too. I have two little ones that will be starting school soon and I would like opinions on all. Thanks in advance! :)
part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
Part time
I work part time from home, and I graduated about 7 months ago. It fine doing part time, just don't expect to make any money.
part time
I was told I had to work 20 hours minimum and there was no maximum. Since I'm paid by the line, I could work 100 hours a week if I wanted.
Why don't you try getting a part-time job? Try

Don't want a part time job
I was hired as a fulltime employee; I have benefits and want to keep them. What kind of benefits do you have for parttime; not what I have now that is for sure.
We want to work. Yes it seems like we are complaining a lot but you just do not understand what is going on and obviously do not work for MQ and until you do or are in our shoes kindly do not respond to us. We are letting each other know what is going on on this board because management does not care no matter how much complaining we do.
Many of us have quit already and more and more are going out the door.
All we want to do is work and be treated like human beings and not machines.
Part-time job
I need a part time job but I can't work more than 10-15 hours a week. Is there any such animal? Everyone I have contacted wants me to work 20 hours.
TIA
$12/hr QA, IC, part-time
will be working on VR tech, I believe. Is it worth trying?
I will look for a part time
i liked this one, but oh well, if they are taking my money......well they claim to have so much new work coming in. I don't think they are in financial trouble, just being cheap.
part-time
I know from my experience that the smaller companies do not follow the same AAMT style as nationals, rather notes are typed the way the doctor wants it. You should have some examples. Talk to someone there before you leave. I bet in the end it will be a lot less stress!!
I do part-time
I purchased a laptop mainly for when we go RVing in the summer as sometimes I receive a lot of work (on tape) from my own local account and instead of needing to stay home so I can complete it by Monday I can now go camping and work and do my work. However, at home, I mainly use my laptop for my on-line job. My laptop has more RAM than my regular PC and everything seems faster on, so I prefer using my laptop.
I am waiting for the new ExpressCard to hit the market from Verizon (or Sprint) and hope to sign up for their unlimited Internet pkg. which will be faster than the dial-up that I currently have (which is all that is available to me), then I can actually do my on-line job (live on a platform) when away from home on my laptop as well if need be. I did check with the tech dept. of the software program and was told that I could connect to their platform this way. My laptop did not come with a PC card slot, just the new ExpressCard slot that all laptops will be made with in the future (is my understanding).
Do you have any particular questions about using a laptop for work???
Part-time job
Part-time weekends at a local hospial as a unit secretary.
Part-time
Bascially trying to read docs handwriting and ordering labs, scans, etc through the computer, answering phones, helping nurses (placing a calls to doctors, ordering different tests, etc) It sounds like an easy job, but there is a lot to learn and trying to read doctors handwriting is a pain. After ordering all of these tests, and all of the medications have to be documented on the nurse's bedside for that patient. A lot of work for little pay!
Looking For Part Time
I am looking for part-time. Could that be the problem? Is there just not a need for experienced MTs right now?
I have a very part time job.
I do between 30-45 minutes a day.
$25K part time
I work around 24 hours a week and will make $25K this year. Would have been more, but I stopped trying during the summer while still working at MQ.
Part-time job
This is basically a vent--I've decided I need to look for another job. Two months ago I took an inhouse job (4 hours per day) at a orthopedic surgeons' group with the understanding that after a period of time this could be a full-time position. But nothing has been said lately about that. The office is moving the week after Christmas to a newer building. I've been told the cubicle I'll be in is still just a one-person setup. They have another lady who comes in for 4 hours in the morning and has been doing this for about 7-8 years.
She is on vacation for 2 weeks and I'm coming in for my 4 afternoon hours. I don't think I can keep the transcription caught up, even though the patient load has decreased some. (This is a 10-doctor practice.) I've wondered if I should ask to come in full days while the other person is on vacation. Should I just wait and see how far behind I get before asking?
I don't want to burn any bridges even though I'm looking for a full-time job. On the other hand, frankly, I believe they are being cheap because the other Transcriptionist is paid by-line and, of course, she isn't paid while on vacation! Your thoughts would be appreciated--I'm losing sleep worrying about getting so far behind.
Oh, also part-time

I could use a second part-time job too...sm
I really love where I work but not enough work to make enough money. I don't quite have a year exp and most places want at least 2 years so it isn't easy to get a second job. Oh well maybe they can give me another account so I will have more work. Actually I was supposed to have been trained about a month ago for another account and I keep getting put off by the head MT who does the training. I hate to go to the owner and seem like a whiner but I am getting annoyed.
Part time IC
Dream on girl. Wouldn't we all love what you are looking for? With your experience, you could easily get a job with a company working fulltime and have the benefits also (you have that?) From what I have seen, evenings, nights and weekends is what they are looking for and many do not hire parttime anymore. Hook, line and sinker is the name of the game these days.
Part-time
I don't know why it seems employers are demanding full-time only, but have you asked any of them what their minimum line count for full-time would be? Perhaps if you explained that you could meet that in 32 hours instead of 40, they might be willing to listen?
Most places that do take part-timers tend to insist that you commit to at least 20 hours. How many hours per week are you looking for?
Have you thought about going directly to doctor's offices and such and offering your services as an independent contractor?
Good luck!
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
If you have the time and means to go to school
Get a bachelor's degree and open hundreds more options for yourself. You can't make enough money doing this to make it worth it. Read this board for a couple days and then see if you want to do this. People who do this are living at or slightly above poverty level. Do yourself a favor and find something better. Also, with the voice recognition and outsourcing on the horizon you'd no sooner finish your training course and be phased out by technology.
Best of luck.
RE: If you have the time and means to go to school
Your information is not accurate concerning transcription. Medical documentation will be around for quite some time to come.
Okay I have been out of school for a long time, but.....sm
am I reading this right as 1 cent per line??
"For all other states we offer IC status only and a competitive line rate for ICs up to $0.010 cpl."(From the All Type Inc position on the Job Seeker's Board)
I am assuming it is a typo on the job post, but you never know....it made me laugh
