- Who am I?
Hi everyone and welcome to my site!
My name is Kate Delaney and I'm from Illinois. I created this site to share my story about how I made a mid-life career change that changed my life.
I went from being a high school graduate with a series of low paying jobs, and even some time on unemployment, to becoming a professional with a stable and well-paying career.
I found the training, financial aid, and even job placement help all online. Now, I don't have a job; I have a career! I'm a Medical Transcriptionist and I love it! Read my story.
Check out the company that made my dreams come true.

Hi,
It is better to search for good companies, who provide training as well as job after completition of the course and less cost. You can go through http://www.andhrascribe.com They have office in California.
Check careerbuilder.com or the U.S. Department of Labor websites for info on how many transcriptionists will be projected for your area.
I do the work part-time and I don’t see much projected at least in my state. So it may require you to relocate once you get a certificate.
Typical pay for transcriptionists to start is between $10.00-14.00 an hour, depending on whether it is hospital, at home, or a doctor’s office.
Personally, I would take a course in Medical Office Manager or Medical Assistant. Work projections in all states are to go up for these positions.
Course prices vary. You get what you pay for. The typical range for a GOOD course is $1500-$3500. It’s worth it. There are a lot of jobs and the pay is very good if you are a productive MT. Choose a good school because that is the foundation of your success.
