Welcome! You will definitely learn a lot here. As far as I know, you will need a foot pedal no matter what. There are people who transcribe using the shift key to rewind and fast forward. But I would hate to have to add in another key to use when trying to type fast. My school supplied the foot pedal I have. I am not sure if most schools do this or not. If you are an employee for a transcription company, they decide how much to pay you, just like any other job. If you want to become an IC you decide that. I keep a rough estimate of my line count using the word counter in Microsoft Word and dividing total by 65 (most MTs are paid based on a 65 character line).
I am still considered a newbie so I am sure people who have been doing this for years and years will be able to help you out more than I can.
