It's the incentives that make the difference
After transcribing for 7 years, I was making 13.60 per hour. I believe the starting wage back then (12 years ago) was around $8-9 per hour. Luckily now, most hospitals also offer incentives, differentials and bonuses. That's what really made a difference for me. The more lines we typed, the more $$ we made. With the incentives, I averaged $4 more per hour. $10 an hour starting doesn't sound too bad, considering you're in a small midwest town. I also live in a small town now and wages are never competitive unfortunately.
don't rely on them
go out there and apply for jobs. Post your resume here and try your hand on the online tests that most companies have.
You were "lucky enough" - your words. Who wants to spend that much money & rely on luck? NM
