I've been looking into taking the Andrews course, which seems like the best, but then started reading the main forum messages.
There seem to be a lot of dissatisfied MTs who aren't getting enough work and complain that many companies are outsourcing work to India.
Does this worry anyone?

Now I'm worried about my schooling
I've been reading some of the posts on here and it sounds like a lot of people bash Penn Foster and don't think they are really a legit program. Is this true? I certainly hope I didn't waste my money and all this time by choosing a program that I thought would teach me what I needed to learn and because I had to pick something that wasn't crazy expensive and not one of the best schools. I'm just worried that I'm not going to be able to find work doing this once I'm finished.
Outsourcing Solutions, Inc
The above company hires new graduates. You can either apply at www.ositranscription.com or send an email to recruiting@ositranscription.com.
Anyone who is not happy with outsourcing...
...might want to consider Barack Obama for president: He says he will ensure that US companies that outsource work to other countries will LOSE the tax breaks.
Something to consider anyway.
This could really be an important issue to all medical transcriptionists.
Future of Medical Transcription due to outsourcing
I am seriously considering Medical Transcription and now wonder if this is the right path to take. I guess there is no way to have absolute certainty, but would like to feel secure about investing time and money in learning the field. I would like to hear from some MT's who are fresh in the field and hear their thoughts. Thanks
Is MT a decent job based on pay #s I see here? And how is outsourcing affecting pay?
I am brand new to the MT world. I'm considering taking training and an internship at a local company (my cost = $2,000) and then working as a contractor for them. From reading different questions and responses here, I'm concerned that the pay is pretty low and has not increased much in the past few years. My other concern is that more companies are outsourcing their work overseas because it's cheaper. How much of that is happening and how much is that hurting pay here?
I'd appreciate any information and opinions. I have to decide by Monday, January 8. Now I'm thinking that I should just find another career path and take classes at a community college. I worked in another career and made excellent money, but the stress and long hours were just too much. I was looking for something less stressful and the chance to work at home. THANKS!!!
I think it means medical transcription service outsourcing, or something like that. ; )
no message...
I wouldn't work for a company that outsourcing offshore and then lies about it.
absolute definitive proof of this. Be wary.
