So silly and can't stand diversity or scrutiny

You still offer nothing.  There is nothing valuable or of substance only negatives and ill will.  Are you that unhappy?  Life can't be that bleak for you can it?  Shallow attacks just make you look bad. 

You completely ignore the economic issues all of us, especially newbies just starting careers, are trying to deal with.  No constructive thoughts.  I don't know why blogs attract so many very negative people.

Certainly if the Big 3 schools are so good they can stand some scrutiny.  Actually, I think they'll hold up fine.  I'm not down on them.  I'm suggesting- again.....- that there are plenty of other good schools to attend.  I found one offer for you all as an example.  $1990 for the basic lessons, internship and a job.  It isn't my school.  I know what I posted and what I found as an example only.  If you think I am plugging this school, I think you are projecting your own motives onto me.  Because you are here to plug for your vested interests then I must be too.  Sorry it doesn't hold.

What a few don't seem to be able to grasp (actually I think they do and are just attacking because of the financial threat) is the intellectual side of this: I'm comparing apples with oranges.  A retail business model to a wholesale one.  They are different and one approach may not suit all.  It's like comparing Costco to Whole Foods.  What is so wrong with having choices?  We all know- nothing.  Some of us have to shop at Costco like it or not.  And just because it is Costco doesn't make it bad, just different. 

Why folks would have trouble visualizing staffing schools is beyond me, unless they have a vested interest and can't stand diversity because it is threatening to them.  Staffing companies and staffing schools are a huge thing in many areas of our economy.  We've all heard of staffing.  The transcription company I work for uses them and I suppose many companies do.  Staffing is big business and it includes many variations in many sectors, like secretarial or nursing.

This approach may be a change and people usually dislike change.  I thought staffing was more widespread because of my experiences.  Certainly, many newbies are emailing me and asking how they can do this and if I can help them.  Sorry, I can't.  I'm not an owner of anything just another employee.

I know 800 hundred pound transcriptionists lurk here and I'm remaining anonymous like Peggy and Deb.  You don't mess with the big gals and lots of money is on the line on a forum like this.  I'm offering something new and evidently I'm a threat.  Good!  The established order needs to evaluate itself. Competition is very American.

Boy, I sure enjoy this soap box. This is fun!!!  Freedom of expression is a wonderful thing.

Try to bully me again Peggy.  I like using my noodle.

I wrote the info about Andrews without doing my homework.  You are certainly correct about Google.  Andrews shows up on the unpaid side,but not the pay per click side of a search.

I did find Career Step advertising.  I didn't find M-Tec.  My error and thanks for correcting that.  I'm embarrased I didn't check first.  I appologize.

So Andrews pays to be a host at MT Chat and MT Desk? Or is that free?

I was shocked to see how much internet advertising costs.  No wonder Google is making a fortune.  Penn Foster and Allied and Kaplan are way up there high and the bid Google gave me to hold that position was between $15 and $18 per click.
