Actually, someone did make the statement
above that if you graduated from M-Tec, Andrews, or CareerStep many employers will waive the experience requirement. I'm thinking that is where the discrepancy lies. The statement is being misinterpreted to mean that they will waive experience altogether instead of just waiving it for testing.
Ridiculous
On the job training?? How can I train for a job when I don't know anything that pertains to that job? Are you personally going to teach me the terminology, abbreviations, correct spelling of procedures, drugs, how to write out reports, ect? The "owner" emailed me again, telling me unless the comments I made about her company can be seen as defamation and since it is written it can be legally claimed as libel. What is it with everyone & their brother wanting to sue these days? And what is your big gripe about the books I plan to purchase or the cost of my school?? Perhaps I could have enough grants to go to college that I have no out of pocket expenses to pay?? Perhaps I might even have money left over that I would like to spend on the books seeing as how it is my decision? And I find it awful funny that when I searched on Google for this the only thing that came back for Proficient Transcription were posts on this board complaining about the same thing I complained about.
That's ridiculous. There will always be MT jobs.
People have been saying for at least 25 years that MT is disappearing.
If you think about it, how on earth could EVERY SINGLE hospital, EVERY SINGLE doctor's office, EVERY SINGLE MTSO give their work to offshore companies?
It is mindboggling that you would even think that was possible. Do you have any idea how many hospitals, doctors, MTSOs there are in the US?
Thhis "the sky is falling" attitude is just so ridiculous.
Don't waste your money. It's ridiculous
to think that you'll get an education for $12.00 or $50.00.
If you are going to invest money in something, invest it in some legitimate tapes at Medword or HPI.
Well, it really IS kind of up in the air, but even if MTs
.
What kind of job?
You need to be more specific about what kind of job. Will major employers hire their grads without 2 or more years of experience? It's not likely. Can their grads get a job typing for a doctor's office somewhere? Maybe, if one happens to be available.
Look around here and on www.mtchat.com to see what's been written about schools in the past.
You're kind!
appreciate the support ... this is harder than i ever imagined it would be (as a seasoned clerical for many, many years). i don't see how any of you make a living at this.
though i was told it was hard before i started, i didn't believe it could be that hard. famous last words!
surprisingly, most of my challenges come from the simpler things like hearing "a" instead of "the" (or where there isn't either).
how on earth did you get through this? my hat's off to all of you seasoned MTs.
kind of unbelievable, isn't she? lol
and some of her posts down the page state she's upset about how little she makes and she wants a bigger better-paying job
also says that quality is the only thing to worry about
WRONG! takes a little quantity too
won't do her any good to do 3 perfect reports a day -- especially if she's clocked in all day waiting for us to QA 'em online! lol
i think she gave her name in one of them, or her first name and initials on one of those posts
lol
What kind of training did you have?
nm
What kind of work are you
doing now, and we might have ideas for your next investments! I have a bunch of Stedman's & also some HPI books I couldn't get by without, and I've been doing this 17 years.
What kind of contacts? experience in what?
I see more messages from graduates of business schools and community colleges saying that nobody will hire them. What kind of contacts are they getting that are helpful to them? What kind of experience are you talking about? They evidently aren't getting the kind that get them jobs or they wouldn't be having so many problems finding jobs? Could you be more specific about what you mean when you say contacts and experience? I really would like to know.
What kind of diploma do you hold? nm

What kind of Laptop is good to buy
Looking at a laptop on E-bay. What is the best choice?
Thanks,

I do Radiology now, kind of fell into it but love it. nm
are you joking? what kind of QA is even remotely close to that post?
I have been MTing for 15+ years and have never received a QA like that. You are a little bold in suggesting someone cannot make it as an MT if they can't take criticism. I hate criticism, and I have been MTing for many years. That post above was rude, suggesting that newer MT's expect to make $60,000 and bounce their babies on their knees while tapping the keyboard. What a joke. If you are experienced, you should take pause and remember what it was like. Did people expect that from you? Nobody expected that from me when I first started out, nor did they make such harsh suggestions.
Janet is a very kind, caring, & smart lady. You can't go wrong with her course
and that goes for quite a few other school owners, too.
