I didn't see this show, but $30-40 K to START is such a crock! In cities around 2 hours from where I live, an MT might make that working directly for a hospital, inhouse. However, I'm pretty sure that hospitals do not hire newbies to make that kind of money - they ask for varying years of experience. I shudder to think what those newbies who eagerly sign up for MT courses as a result of this swill will be making a couple of years from now. 1 cpl?
The only way that this "expert" assertion could possibly hold any water is if one contends that working at home for an MT service is probably the only career where you actually are worse off financially if you do a really good job... So, dear Virginia, you really can make 30-40K to start. All you have to do is mindlessly whip off as much production as possible and don't waste time checking your work. But anyone with a conscience-driven work ethic, who consistently produces well-researched, quality work ethic is the poor schmuck getting trampled on by this once-wonderful industry. No wonder we are getting out in droves - that's why they need to go on TV to rope in new recruits...

Is Transcription Bogus
I am very interested in becoming a MT. I am wondering if anyone knows if MT from home is real or another at home scram. Also are schools such as Career Step scams or do they give you real training and help you get a MT job from home. I appreciate any feedback.
Not bogus, there are good courses..
Some are scams. Career Step is not a scam. However, really nobody makes decent money starting out. I used to train MTs, some from Career Step. Most made close to minimum wage at first. They were also limited in the number of reports and work types at first and hours worked. They had the basics but didn't have the overall experience so it takes a lot of time and patience from both the trainer/mentor and the MT. But these MTs are the ones that usually do well. If you start out with a national and are just handed a job and not given a trainer/mentor per se, you will not learn much and will likely fail the QA reviews but hopefully they will give good feedback and you can learn that way. Newbies don't usually do well with that kind of situation in my experience. So finding a company that is willing to take on trainees and mentor them as a first job is a good idea. The pay is also not like it used to be and even after training if you have a job with a national paying 6 cpl you would only be making around 9 an hour based on 150 lph. In my experience I have rarely seen a newbie getting over 150 lph accurately until maybe after a good six months of heavy mentoring/close monitoring by an experienced MT. JMO. Hope that helps.
The "credentialing authority" is bogus, sm
and b.s. It is a private organization, looking for mo' money, mo' money, with no standing of any kind. They will not get a dime from me, for anything. They are anti-MT to say the least.
Expecially if you can try to impress strangers with a bogus IQ score

Yep, the bogus ransom letter was way amateurish and a dead giveaway
Her handwriting samples have always come back as "suspicious" by the forensic handwriting experts.
