I am upset but I am getting over it. Lots have said maybe this is a "blessing in disguise". I will put in an application to be a 911 dispatcher, which I am assuming a machine or technology can never replace! :) I did it for a couple of years before moving and enjoyed it, but loved my IC status as a Transcriptionist more. Now that times have changed, I've gotta be a big girl and move on :)

Thanks for your kind words

Very insightful
Thanks for your post. Very insightful! Yes, the perception out there is that MT just takes good typing skills, but that isn't my fault. It is definitely mis-perceived by those of us unfamiliar with the industry!

I can very much relate to the 'panic'. In my industry a lot of worry-ers scream that our jobs are all being outsourced and we will all be unemployed in the next year or so. I guess every industry has those peeps!

Thanks again for your reply!
