No, Kiki, you're not too old...
I think you're at the perfect age where you have the patience and discipline needed to actually do great in school and finish your studies. We are all, it seems, having to work to an older age than expected, so you still have a lot of time to graduate and get out there and work. I say go for it  .
Kiki, anyone who does not do VR has no idea
and don’t think you or I can change any minds here. Some are so dead set against it they respond by saying only newbies can do or saying it works well with people who normally type slow. I know what it takes to do as well as you and not a romp in the park. People who are in the dark and really hoping their companies do not go to VR are the ones who will come here talking about the lack of experience needed to do this job. I would love if I could just hold my foot on the pedal and let it run but not the case. Maybe when their companies switch over, then they will know what we are talking about.
LOL! I have to laugh, sorry, my mom used to use the word kiki
for something that was bad or icky, like poop, when I was very small. It was pronounced kee-kee. LOL!
Kiki's foot pedal
Kiki, I really feel badly that you cannot even ask an innocent question on these boards anymore. I asked an innocent question the other day about a word. I have been in the business for almost 20 years and had a doc make a point of spelling something that I had spelled differently for years. Then I got confused. I looked it up, but was pretty sure I had the right spelling. Because I was confused, I asked for help. Someone replied very nicely and confirmed that I had been spelling the word correctly, but then I got a nasty response from someone else accusing me of having no reference books. I don't get why people bother to reply if they are going to be nasty. Isn't that what these boards are for? For us to help each other out? Why bother asking for advice just to have people jump all over you? Anyway, Kiki, I can't help you out about the foot pedal. I hope you are able to get some advice from someone who is trying to be helpful. 
I'm in the 40's club also Kiki and wondering the same thing but the way I sm
see it is I'll be working until I'm at least 70, so I have a good 30 years left to work! Funny thing is I'll be going to college at the same time as my oldest 2 children which is kind of neat!!
southern accents
Being a Yankee who now lives in the south, I can relate! Had far more trouble with the southern dictators than with the foreign ones.
And yest, those British & Australian ones are sexy!
do you mean Southern Transcription? nm

Southern Transcription Services
Any info on Southern Transcription Services would be helpful.
TIA
I prefer non-Southern accents
I'm from the south but lived out of the area for several years. My favorite accents are Northeast and MidWest. For a while I did MT for a hospital in rural Alabama where a resident from Cuba was working. He had acquired a number of southern altruisms that cracked me up with his thick Hispanic accent. I'll never forget when he treated an elderly woman who had received a rattlesnack bite to her foot through her "teenie shoes." (if I hadn't been from the south, I wouldn't have known he was referring to "tennis shoes!")
Once my dryer needed servicing and the repair man came out. After talking for a while I asked if he was from somewhere near southern Russia because of his accent. He got so excited that someone knew the geographic area of his origin! He was from a tiny little country bordering southern Russia! (one of my neurologists was from Russia). I love to try to place someone's accents

I have a bad time with southern accents too
Their words just sort of fall into one another and it seems like they put emphasis on the wrong part of the word, so I need to concentrate with them. The worst however is the Chinese accent by far. Especially when they do try to slow down and enunciate, it makes it worse.
I have noticed the southern accent. I like it. Don't like BO though. LOL. nm

Yes!! Matthew, hunky southern gentlman.

BellSOUTH (keyword)....8-9 southern states!!!.
southern, northern, eastern, western--sm
what difference does it make where anybody is from...how about being a *bleeding heart* for ALL life...not just human and not just animals. God gave everything that breathes life, and we should respect that. human or animal. JMO
I'd guess male, but if it's Southern, all bets are off.

I worked for Southern Transcription a while back.

I'm in southern NY, 2hrs. north of NYC. One of the helpers on MTD is from upper NY, too. nm

Algarve, southern Portugal, wonderful spas
easy access to ancient castles, Spain, the larger cities of Lisbon and Oporto, next door to Morroco, wonderful free seafood, beaches. I could go on...
I live in a small Southern town and they have posted pictures of sm
people convicted of passing bad checks in the newspaper. How humiliating would that be?
By posting the bad checks, they see your name, but by posting your picture, they could recognize who you are.
I was told 12 cents per line in Southern California was too high (sm)
They can stick it because they should be paying 18 cents per line.
There is too much EMR and offshoring around here.
Southern fried chicken. We're having friend over, too. I love it but
I can only eat fried chicken once in a while. Makin SMASHED (taters, eh?), blackeyed peas and green beans with pepper sauce.
My worst are both slow-speaking, hoarse-voiced Southern gentlemen.
The great southern coffee... Community Coffee...
People who grew up with it and have moved have it sent to them now or stock up when they visit Louisiana.
