Coding is definitely the way to go and the money is so much better than MTing. Check out Advance Magazine for healthcare professionals. I am also starting to see remote coding jobs at home. If more hospitals start using electronic records systems, there will be more coding at home opportunities in the future. I love MTing, but it just is not paying for me and I am considering coding. There is also a great shortage of coders, so the jobs are out there for us. I will just do MTing on the side.

employment opportunities
Have you thought about getting into medical record coding? I have a friend who went back to school at age 59 and is now coding and she had no medical experience at all -had worked for Nokia and Motorola for years and got tired of the layoffs - she loves it other than getting the overseas dictation to decifer - but that would be easier for you as an experienced transcriptionist. It's just a thought - but you would probably breeze through the course or might could find a hospital that would train you doing ER coding.
Prior MT..BS.Ed...job opportunities?
Thinking of returning to the MT field. Little background: I'm currently teaching high school, Bachelor of Science in Ed. I was a MT off and on for 12 years prior to starting my teaching job 2.5 yrs ago, almost all of that experience in a hospital, one year with WebMedx at the end. I also did IC here and there locally. Not sure teaching HS is for me, LOL. But I hate to waste my degree too...are there trainer jobs? Should I look into QA or editing? Am I being completely silly for re-thinking my MT career?? I miss the medical community, have been a part of it for most of my adult life. I enjoy the education aspect, just not sure HS is the right fit. Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks :D
Mentorship Opportunities
Hi there everyone! I am starting my 3rd semester of an MT program at a community college in September. I am really hoping I can find a mentorship, either now, or at the completion of my program in December. I really wouldn't mind if it was unpaid since I mainly would like to get some "real world" experience. Can anyone here point me in the right direction of a mentor/intern opportunity??
there are opportunities for daytime work...
just keep scouring the sites...here, mtjobs.com, getmedicaltranscriptionjobs.com, indeed, jobster, simplyhired, but most importantly your local workforce site (unemployment) in your state (they list national jobs too). Good luck!
"Excellent MT Career Advancement Opportunities"
... yeah right. Anybody seen the article in AAMT's Plexus?
The article portrays career opportunities for the MT which includes editor, QA, supervisor, yada, yada, yada. These jobs are portrayed as "advancements" but no where does it address the pay compensation or lack of. From what I see in this forum the pay seems to be low considering the fund of knowledge and experience needed for being an Editor or QA specialist. The one thing I note is that the article does clearly recognize that need to have mastered transcription BEFORE being a QA specialist. Seeing what I see here on this forum it seems many QA people don't fit the bill. Not bashing those quality QA's that are out there, but think it's the company's poor management that don't recognize what is needed for QA.
Do you have a weekly ads pub that you could put it in under Business Opportunities, or in your local
