I live in California and 14 cents is not too high out here, but it might be in other places. I agree with your entire post.

Yes, I understood perfectly. You came across loud and clear.

Yes, as I stated above,
I use my own computer, but there are some companies out there that will send you a computer to use while you are working for them. The company I am with does not do that. I think that is a nice thing though because if anything happens to the machine, it is their problem and not yours. However, there is usually a fee for this that is taken out of your paycheck every pay period. I think it is normally a small charge though.
I ask ed you because you stated in your 1st
comment...'I am going back to school,' when the woole post was about EMR.
thank you for clearing that up. As I stated, I was not saying
that you were a scam, but I will tell you this - there are a lot of people that would take advantage of new transcriptionists just to pad their own pocketbooks.
I appreciate that you are willing to take on the newbies and help them and motivate them.
Well-stated, completely honest (nm)

She explicity stated she would fail the test
that I did very well on.
Perhaps she does not need a course, and I know I could benefit from going to an MT school, but I did not "walk in off the street". I have a 4 year degree in health sciences, and a technical certificate in medical coding and billing. The employer recruited through my college's career placement office and was looking for coding grads since the school does not have an MT program.
She has a hs diploma, types about 40wpm and has customer service and tax preparation experience. Without some time dedicated to studying med terms and A&P, she would not make it through the interview process.
I did not take a transcription course, but I have a lot more background than she does. I never said it would be easy - I believe I said I felt I was in a bit over my head.
I did not expect to work as a tax preparer at her company without taking the required tax prep course, even though I have 16 hours of Accounting, to include intermediate and tax accounting.
I didn't think I was scoffing.
