I cannot imagine taking on part time work too. And my first baby was a very good baby.

I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
I'm lucky to get one up and decorated in time!NM

Yes indeed. Lucky you. You really did hit the jack pot this time.
I'm jealous!
You have a baby, you have limited time to devote to work. sm
This career requires strict, constant concentration. It requires a lot of time to gain knowledge. It's not like stuffing envelopes or making bead necklaces or making telemarketing phone calls. You have to sit at your computer, with no distractions, with ALL of your attention highly focused. The thing is, your baby requires this, too. One of these 2 things will suffer. You wouldn't bring your baby to an office, and trying to do this job with a baby right there is the same thing.
Superwoman
Care to enlighten all of us on which company you work for, which accts you have and what you QA looks like??
Are you full-time?
I was just wondering how they expect people to get a quota with no work.
$1,100.00 full time

Are you full-time?
How many lines do you do a day? I personally think this is very low even for a newbie, but I'm wondering if your accounts are REALLY easy and you have a lot of "normals" (macros) where you can get great line counts in a short period of time. Just my opinion and I'm no expert but I'd say they ARE taking advantage . . . .
I would say full time 1,000 to 1,200 per day. nm

Its not me, its my full time job
Its not me being superwoman, I can assure you. My full time job is awesome and the company I work for is everyone's dream come true. My little one takes up a lot of me, don't get me wrong, but I guess I spent a lot of time out doing things where as now I have to be at home with her. My husband and I have opposite work schedules so he's on his own pretty much and I only have to take care of myself and our daughter usually. I just thought someone there is this get rich in your free time job out there in the MT field that I should look into (JOKING!! please don't bash me again!).
Seriously - I am just looking into ways to make money from home while filling up my free time. Computers is what I do so I figured it would be interesting to look into MT. My mistake I think. Sounds like way more work than I wanted to do.
Yes, Full-time.
I work 40 hours a week for 1 company. I also have an IC job on the side to help with some money, but everytime I have logged on in the last month, there has been no work.
I do see my lines starting to come up, but am still only hitting 100 lines on average which is only $6.50 an hour. Not a livable wage by any means. That barely covers my rent each month.
I also have gotten out of MT full time
So I only work doing transcription part time.
Full-time IC?
Full-time IC is a term that seems contradictory to me. I thought an IC was expected to have more than one "client", at least per IRS expectations, so how does an MTSO get away with requiring an MT's undivided attention as an IC? It seems that MTSOs have a different set of rules....and we are the ones who allow it.
Has anyone out there addressed this issue with either a potential client and/or the IRS? If so, what was the outcome? I'm thinking of filing a complaint and just need some feedback to determine if it is worth my time and energy.
TIA.
I crocheted a baby's hooded sweater last year at this time.
Had a heck of a time with it...kept sewing it until I got it right, Had To! LOL. The one side of the hood was right on at first crack, but the other side of the hood looked outrageous at first, LOL, had to undo and redo a few times. Arrgghhh. You'll get it, just keep on keepin' on!
In my family, shower for first baby only, unless it has been an unusually long time between
pregnancies and things would already be given away or outdated. I had a regular shower for baby outfits, strollers, etc, but also had a "diaper/general use" shower for diapers, bath stuff, lotions, etc, and this was great because it gave me a chance to stock up.
SHE'S SUPERWOMAN! WHILE THE REST OF US...SM
just have to roll with the punches, which somehow have eluded her.
has anyone transitioned from IC or SE to full time
How did the transition go? What are the differences? What do they take out of you for single in regards to health insurance. Did your pay rate stay the same? My premiium went up AGAIN as it does every year, 20 bucks, and i'm thinking about becoming full time, but only if it is a smooth transition. Thanks guys
Two full-time jobs here
It bites!!! I'm exhausted.
Well I'm doing this full time and ouch !!!
How do you make any money???? Typing and shortcuts is not the problem but trying to figure out some of what the dictators are saying is time consuming... How do you make money????????????
Though I love the research and find this interesting 40.00 a day is not going to cut it... Does it get better????? I feel stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am stuck going full time because
that's all the university offered. They said if I didn't want to go full time then get out of line because 933 other people wanted my spot. I have a small MTSO right now and so am able to just parcel out work and do a little QA each week. I already had an Associate's of Science which transferred to the U, and then I had to do pre-req of Nutrition, Developmental Psych and Organic Chem (and after I did organic chem, over the summer no less, they dropped it as a pre-req grrrrrrr). This fall is my third semester, I will finish after my fifth semester though I want to go on to get a master's as a nurse practitioner....another 2.5 years **sigh**
It depends, IC or full time? nm

In my area they have full-time
interpreters on staff because of very large Brazilian population.
Full-time is 32-40 hours BUT
This is where full-time gets tricky. Say you work you full-time hours 32-40, depending on the company,but you haven't made your line quota, hence, you end up working more hours to make your quota. Also, if your company offers health insurance and you haven't made your line count, then your health insurance is in jeopardy. That is why it is important that you have "work" consistently so you don't have the added pressure of worrying about keeping your health insurance.
Me too. Less than 8 hour day, but full time.

Two jobs, 1 full-time, 1 IC (nm)

Wow! Not any full time MTs want to comment...sm
on their income per month and company. That can't be a good sign.
Not any full time MTs want to comment
Maybe we consider that our business and no one else's. I used to work in-house and we were always instructed to not give out what dollar amount we earned. Same thing applies here IMO.
I say you need to give it a shot full-time.
That's the only way you will get quicker and more accurate. You need experience. The more you do it, the easier it will come. Good luck.
IC versus National Full Time
I have been an IC for the last 10 years. I have enjoyed a somewhat flexible schedule. Because I do radiology and acute care, there is a time during the day that I do have to be at my desk working, usually 2-3 hours a day. I thinking of going to work for a national because of the down side to being an IC. I don't always have work, I do work weekends and holidays at the same rate of pay and no vacation time. I have the worries of going on vacation next week with the loss of a paycheck when I get back. Do the nationals really require you to work 8 hours even if you have your line count?
I work 2 full time IC jobs. nm

Anybody working two full time jobs
Due to the lack of work (on a regular basis) with my current full time at-home job, I'm considering taking another full time job...7am to 3pm then 3pm to 11pm. I don't know what else to do. I can't afford to go days without meeting minimum line count because there is no work.
Am I nuts to try this?
I work 2 full time jobs..
I work from 8:00 - 4:30 then get home and start working about 6 pm. until 12-1 a.m. It's tough to do, but can be done if you are determined enough. I've been doing for almost one year now. The bad thing is I work salary during day hours, and paid cpl at night, so nothing is overtime pay for me. Would be easier to have one job with overtime allowed. We girls just do what we gotta do, don't we?
Those people obviously do not work full time or want to
make a good living. I would work at McDonald's before I would let someone take my house. If someone is not making enough money in this field, it is them, not the industry. Tired of everyone tip-toeing around this issue. The money is there but you need to buckle down and do the work. Stop whining and start working.
working full time with kids
If it is about taking off a couple years, there is nothing wrong with that. However, you just can't say that it cannot be done - because there are several of us here that, obviously, can do it.
I work as an IC, get .105 with full -time schedule. NM

Full-time without OT. Made about 40K last year. nm

I'm 47 and in nursing school full time...sm
but I only work a few hours a week running my MTSO. I would guess you could work full time while doing your pre-reqs part-time but when you actually get into PT school, it probably is almost as grueling as nursing. Your best bet is to SAVE SAVE SAVE over the next few years so you can do full time school when you need to. Speech pathology is a master's program, so you will need to be in school for quite a while. Plus you need to see how competitive the program is. Nursing schools lose 50% of their classes by graduation, and only take the best 10% of applicants, so not an easy task. That being said, there is practically no future in MT and when 100 MT's are competing for the same job, it's going to be sad. So go for Speech Pathology - absolutely!
I think the average is 1200 lpd for full time

Actually, I have not worked as a full time MT for nine years
and that's the problem. Is there hope for me to get back in to MT even though I've been out of it for so long. I did work part-time from home from the lab for about two years after that.

About $30,000 working 5 hr per day considered full-time
because I make my required line quota for full time, so I get the benefits. Would try to do more but take care of my three year old grandchild during the days, so only can work evenings and let me tell you by the evenings I'm tired!! In a few years my DH will retire and I will probably be putting in an 8 hour day for awhile then and hopefully can get up to the $50,000 at least for a year or two. Still have years to go for retirement for me.
