That's an easy bet when there's no way to prove it

Let's get back to having a serious conversation, not blatant bragging. Most of us have enough confidence that we don't need that kind of nonsense.

Unless you prove you are very good
and a valuable asset. Really good MTs are hard to find and worth keeping - and worth giving good raises to.
That's not true at all. Statistics prove that Americans
work more hours than workers in other countries. We are not lazy. We are also faster and more accurate at MT than anybody else. That's why every single offshored report has to be checked over by an American employee. However, we won't work for peanuts like EVERY offshore worker out there. THAT is the bottom line. CEOs want their six figure salaries and bonuses. They can't get mucho deniro unless they screwo the employees. They don't give a darn about anybody but themselves. You can say what you want to stroke your own ego, but it's completely untrue. The only thing offshored workers are to anybody is CHEAP labor.
With all due respect, that is simply BS. Please prove to me that MTSO will waive experience
depending on which school you went to. Please share your information because as an MTSO I have never done this and know of no other services that do this. What a disservice to newbies to make this statement.
Easy for you to say
Sure they are worth more than that. But the world is apparently changing and not everyone can afford to "hold out" and not work until the right thing comes along. I'm very happy for you that you could do so, not everyone is so fortunate and may have to scratch a little for a while. I suppose you would prefer that newbies just never get work at all if they have to start at a low rate? That's not fair. Then again, if they don't work right out of school, you'd probably say they "went to the wrong school." Give newbies a break. Wern't you new once yourself?
They are VERY easy. nm
not as easy as it looks, my dear...
there's a reason why most MT's don't have their own accounts. It's a bear to figure it out. Do you have the nerve to cold call on 20 to 50 offices? Have you, as of yet, even started on an informational brochure to leave? Have you found a source to let you know who the new doctors are in the area? You say, "I might as well get my own accounts if I have to do so much footwork," but let me ask you, what have you done yet? It takes a lot of self-starting to be an MTSO. No one will babysit you through it. You will have to find the creativity to get started and find out what works. If you would "love to receive all my files off the internet," pretend you have a client who has offered you the work. Then research the options, figure out how you would do it, right down to HIPAA recommendations, prices, and how you are going to get that account covered when you take your kids to Florida on spring break, and then you might have a chance. I have heard it many times "I would love to have my own business," but most people won't take step 1. Good luck  .
I would love any advice on how to start up my own accounts. I'd love to receive all my files off the internet. Any advice...... Please
Is radiology easy?
I would really like to try it, but i dont know whether you will provide the wav file, then only i can say whether it is easy
PT is an easy field.
i type a PT account from home. Like any other field, you just get used to it and it's easy. I think you should do well. susan
I agree, radiology is easy, but
there is a bigger threat of being replaced by VR unless you are so good that the radiologist will fight to keep you if needed. Most of the terminology is anatomical terms. They don't change like drugs do, so there are no excuses for getting anatomy wrong. You have to have a large English vocabulary, have great grammar skills, have a 99.5% accuracy rate, and not mind transcribing lots of short notes as well as some two-pagers. If you prefer getting 20-minute reports all day, you won't like radiology. Most of the dictators speak very quickly and efficiently, which is what I like.
FTP Voyager is a good one......easy to use
xx
No way to tell. Is the software easy to use? Will you be looking up addresses? Making a log? Having
s
Huh. The psych I've transcribed has been easy and boring.
There weren't a lot of shortcuts possible, but it was mostly typing regular English.
Easy or not will depend totally on the type of dictators
s
Employment tests are not easy, even for entry level.
They need to know what you know. Sometimes the things you blank are just as important as the things you get right.
My final exam was all but ' simple, easy, clear
transcription. It was 70 pages long, 98% accuracy, the audio was mediocre. It was a good school, but not M-Tec or Andrews.
That simple, easy, clear dictation practice is what the crappy schools use.
Then the person graduates, thinks they know what they're doing, and are totally shocked when they start trying to do REAL MT work. One of many reasons these cheap, crappy, found-out-about-it-on-a-matchbook-cover schools AREN'T recommended.
