It is depressing as I love my job, work from home and make really good money. Not sure what I am going to do next. I am not up for going back to school!! <br /><br />So perhaps, do not invest a lot of money into the field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729272792696225365.post-49053189631523679402010-09-06T07:48:07.538-06:002010-09-06T07:48:07.538-06:00Hiya, can't advise on the field choice, but ju...Hiya, can't advise on the field choice, but just wanted to tell you that I wish you all the best with getting back into the work field as such. It's a big step, and can be a bit scary, for myself included. <br /><br />Just wanted to say I hope everything falls easily into place and that you are happy.Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763140645062251024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729272792696225365.post-82647715104291078342010-08-10T17:14:40.119-06:002010-08-10T17:14:40.119-06:00Hey, I just found your blog today!

I am wondering if you should first make sure that voice recognition isn't going to make transcription obsolete. I know there is a lot of advancing technology out there, so just do your research. Have you considered medical billing instead? There is money to be made in that field, I know. Good luck!Christa @ Stories of a Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981340526859677275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729272792696225365.post-64432012752947020392010-08-10T14:14:59.745-06:002010-08-10T14:14:59.745-06:00I used to sell textbooks to universities and a lot...I used to sell textbooks to universities and a lot of these courses are offered in your community colleges or through something called "workforce development" in any college, especially ones with nursing/allied health program *which is a lot lately. The only problem with medical transcription is that it can become obselete. Heck even vista does pretty good job. It is also really easy to outsource to cheeper countries like India. Which may also mean that if you get a job here the pay may be minimal. I would look at it in detail. If you are going to change professions and go back to school may as well step into a field that has a lot of future. <br /><br />P.S.I stopped here originally for the linky party, just in case you are wondering wthpolwighttp://polwig.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729272792696225365.post-60454785251842812412010-08-06T17:14:31.331-06:002010-08-06T17:14:31.331-06:00Look into career step.

Some places (local ones) will hire with any medical terminology course and not a medical transcription course per se. Call me with any other questions you have, I would be glad to help. It is a career that is slow to get going but great once you are into it...I wouldn't do anything else!!!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321767512417488694noreply@blogger.com
