I beg your pardon, I'm an Allied grad and I'm working as an MT.

love MT
AmyAmyO,
Do your research on the field locally and go to the library. call local doctor offices and ask to speak with their MT to get info. Find out about a refresher course and there is a book at the library about researching to prepare for the field. Very good book. I love it! Good luck!
I do and so far I love it!!
I do too and love it as well.

WOULD LOVE
to see the list of jobs/companies earlier poster mentioned.... could you post a link on this forum? It might bless a lot of folks! ![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/shake.gif")
Been at it 25+ years, still love it the same way I did at first. NM

Would love one! but like I mentioned
locally, there aren't any. I have went to all the dr.'s offices and the hospital and they have went to a paper form. They had used a service in a town 10 miles away and I applied and tested with the owner, who I knew and she would have hired me but she was notified that the work she had was being cut, since the paper form was being implemented, and she was going to have to down-size her workers. I had had a job line-ed up that paid hourly before they decided to go to this new form and lucked out. Now, I need to find something over the internet.
I currently work for them and LOVE it! sm
They are an awesome company, and I cannot say ANYTHING bad about them. I have been with them for 10 months now. Good luck!
love that dmz list
That site is where I found my first job. I recieved 13 responses from that list and I had ZERO experience. I have been working now for one month. :)
Most people love ES and that is what my
company uses. There are lots of choices available, but I don't think there are any free ones. There is Start/Stop and Bytescribe (haven't heard about them lately not sure if they are still around), and GearPlayer.
I love my job and am very happy!
However, I feel like I should warn you that after a year and a half, I am still making around minimum wage. This is okay with me. I like being able to work at home and the flexibility. However, I know my salary would not work for everyone. Some people simply need more money right off the bat, so I don't think MT is the best choice for them.
I love that analogy! That's encouraging!
Thanks cm, for spurring on this soon to be MT student! :)
I did it and I loved it! I love the lady over it!! She is the best!

I love doing psych notes
they do tend to be boring, but are usually in pretty plain English and are pretty long, so you get lots of lines. Easy money.
how does TV addiction equate to love from a mother?
She is a newbie. She will need blocks of time to do research, learn her trade before she is actually contributing to "society." But also, being part of society is being responsible. I used no rudeness in my post in expressing my sadness over her attitude. Your post was less polite and much less insightful and though provoking. TV does not mean a mother loves her child/ren. TV creates drones who emulate what they see and is addictive. Will they be eating in front of the TV with no time to run, jump, skip, play? What about the obesity epidemic in this country. Studies have linked it directly to parents using TV as a babysitter. Just think about what is best for everyone concerned and the reasons for the concerns.
I love reading your posts Patti!

Love how Innahurry thinks she is funny

I do Radiology now, kind of fell into it but love it. nm
I personally love ShortHand for Windows

I love the work. If I worked at Wal-Mart
I would hate every minute of it. I am not really a people person and need an intellectual challenge to be happy. I learn new things all the time with MT, so it is always interesting. Also, I love being available at a moment's notice if my kids get sick at school, being able to change my schedule easily if they have a field trip, etc. Money isn't everything, and this is the right career for me at the moment.
Love the idea on using a phone book A-Z for writing down
I have almost 4 year experience now and may branch out on my own next year I think, or at least try. Love the idea of using the phone book, can't believe I never thought of it. Thanks for the tip.
Just stopping in to wish love, peace, and health to all my "newbie" friends here!....sm
Hope you all have a wonderful blessed holiday and that the upcom ing year has prospertiy and contentment for you all!!!
transcriptiongear.com has phones with a volume control on the cord. Love 'em! Really helps. nm

Who said I HATE this field? I LOVE this field but
also see the changes coming down the pike. Also feel it is not fair to withhold or misrepresent that part of the equation to someone who is considering entering MT or just starting out. Knowledge is power. It would take years for a new MT to have the kind of insight into this field that a 20+ year experience lends. Believe me, I would be only too happy to keep running my MTSO, making $75,000+ year while working 20 hours a week, paying my MT's well, but it's not going to happen. Try reading "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman if you want a perspective of what's going to happen to not only MT work but a lot of great white collar jobs. India and the rest of the world are breathing down our necks and in the next decade will be serious competitors for American jobs. There will be no "american" jobs - we will be competing against the rest of the world for jobs.
Friedman states: "The convergence of 'flatteners' has created a whole new platform. It is a global, Web-enabled platform for multiple forms of collaboration. This platform enables individuals, groups, companies and universities anywhere in the world to collaborate...this platform operates without regard to geography, distance, time, and, in the near future, even language. Going forward, this platform is going to be at the center of everything...wealth and power will flow to those who get these basic things right...the infrastructure to connect with the platform and the education to get more of their people working on the platform.
Please wake up and look beyond our box.
$600/year!! I would LOVE to pay 600/year -
I end up paying in $2000+/year EVEN WITH MY DEDUCTIONS, and I deduct anything and everything!! My accountant keeps telling me to buy a house or have a baby and then I wouldn't pay in so much.
