To me it's a bit like comparing being SM

a clerk to being an executive, if very low level. I know what you mean about staying home because I stopped appraising real estate to "relax" at home with this work. However, if I were you I'd go to school for the RN degree, since that seems to be an option, and then make any further decisions from an enormously improved position. That RN credential is a tremendous asset and can be used many, many different ways, including from behind a desk if wished.

Comparing BS to CD is like...
comparing a filet mignon 2 horse meat! 
I wasn't comparing, I am asking for an opinion. Thanks anyway. nm
But that's not comparing apples to oranges.
2000 55-character lines is about 1700 65-character lines. Take away some more lines for unpaid headers, footers, and demographic information, and I could probably do what you're doing. Ah, so! I need to find a better employer that pays for headers, footers, demographics, and by the gross line!
Or rather it IS comparing apples to oranges. LOL

Where you come off comparing gay lifestyle choices to sm
pedophiles (which can be compared with, say, serial killers IMHO) is NUTS. Pedophiles rape children and break the law. And you are showing a common thread HOW????
I meant *comparing*, not *referring* ! - nm

How 'bout comparing us to PA's, RNs, or even doctors? (nm)

This is what I found comparing the 2.....inside
I jumped in 100% enthused to do VR with a good VR program, I really liked the resting of the wrists, etc. I learned the short cuts, implemented every help they gave but what I found was if I have to separate the headings on every op, take out sentences because the doctor changed his mind, add sentences or phrases, change phrases, add a, the, put in whole sentences that VR left out for no rhyme or reason, it didn't matter if I was just reading along and believe me this was a good VR program Ex-Text, I just couldn't double my lines and it drove me crazy all the changes I had to make. If I got 3 good dictations in a row, I found I would 3 bad dictations, and remember, new residents messed it all up all over again, all this for half pay.
I compared them side by side on another computer I finally got a job with another company for straight typing and found I could make $30 to $40 more a day straight typing, that is just average some days it was more. So, even though I liked the concept of doubling my lines to make the same money in less time, I don't think it can happen consistently, for me anyway.
I know these companies going to it push it relentlessly and almost desperately. I don't know why, they can't be taking a 30 to 40 dollar hit per Transcriptionist a day, there has to be some advantage that they push it so hard.
One last thing, I went into VR determined to give it my all and I did, but I was alway 500 lines of doubling my lines. Some days it was just constant changing of things other days 2 out of 3 of changing but no days of not changing dumb things.
Woof! Just kidding, 2. I was actually feeling bad about comparing
troll posters to cats. I love cats, so it wasn't really fitting! I can think of a few other comparisons, but don't want to lower myself to "its" level.
You're comparing apples and oranges here, SandyGirl. SM
You're talking employee status in NYC. Some of us are talking IC status where we set our own rates and do the work we're most productive at.
I am settled into a comfortable routine. I know just exactly how much work I have and how long it takes me to do it.
You should really be careful about calling folks liars when you have absolutely nothing to go on but what YOU get paid. It makes you look pretty silly and uninformed.
