Congrats on your new job!
I'm just starting training in March, but I've been lurking here for a long time.
I came up with $7.43/hour if you worked for 2.5 hours. 9:00 to 11:30.
I read your post about getting this new job and really don't understand the way your getting paid.
All I have to go on is the common cpl pay. I've heard for newbies that is around .065 for 65 character line. Do you have a line counter or character counter?
I see the average 125 lines per hour and at .065 per line you should make about $8.13/hour. Less if less lines are typed/hour.
Hope this helps. I'm just going on what I've seen here on the boards. I'm not even a student yet.

No amount of schooling prepares you for the
real world of MT, which can only be mastered through years of experience. Period. Andrews and MTEC aren't better enough to justify the inflated price. I train new MTs as well. The learning capability of the MT plays a much higher role than which school they attended. I've had better luck with MTs who have simply taken medical terminology and basic transcription classes at a community college or an online school than some MTs who've gone to Andrews. Taking an expensive course does not by any means guarantee a good MT.
