8, 9, 10...... really isn't so much money separating any of those amounts.
But they *ARE* the reality of MT today....and 10 years ago..... :)

Unless you have your own accounts, your options of what you are being paid
are nil. And 8 cpl just isn't a whole lot different than 9 cpl.... and
finding someone willing to pay 10 cpl.... just ain't easy to do.

I am seeing more and more EMR coming through my day job and I see practices
willing to tweak and change whatever needs tweaking and changing to get the
reports they need from the data we receive. The MT-generated transcription,
frankly, sucks for the most part.... and speech, well, it's coming along and
while it's not perfect, it does just as good a "bad" job as many MTs do, so
yes, I see it finally going to impact transcription jobs and pricing.

And I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone..... not anymore.

And yet, Bam, you already said that you make more as an MT than as a
substance abuse counselor, and that the same is true even with a
master's degree. So how bad is it, really?
