Honestly,I have been an MT for over 25+ years. The best and most satisfying job I ever had was cleaning homes on the side. I would do my transcription but I need to move. I was in the best physical shape, my mental attitude was healthy, and it kept me from getting a stiff back having typed 8-10 hour days. I loved it and seriously, I am going back to it. I love helping families keep organized and it is for my OCD, very fulfilling for me.

Housekeeping as an alternative ...
... has anyone gone from MTing to housekeeping in a hotel? I can't support myself as an IC and can't meet the requirements for employee status. What are the going wages in the South? Do I have a snowball's change of being hired in my 50's??? I'm desperate.

Not true. Housekeeping is a VERY necessary job!
Isn't there something else YOU can do other than make ugly statements about other people's choices?

Not housekeeping related but why would you be
engaged to someone who not only doesn't help financially but also brings their mother along for the ride?

A recipe I saw in Good Housekeeping!
Carolina pulled chicken from March issue. Looks good.

I read recently (think it was Good Housekeeping) that it was one of the top 5 up and coming (sm)
businesses - think it was actually 3rd... it was an impressive article - from what I have read - very impressive company. The gal I know makes a ton of money but she works her butt off and loves her work and her company
