DanaHello- Is this the Elizabeth I know? You can go to MT daily and post your resume. I have heard that some companies require 2 to 3 years in an office environment but some would rather you come straight out of training. A friend of mine just posted on the MT daily that she was straight out of training. A lady from Oregon that has her own company e-mailed her within a couple of days and she has kept her busy ever since. I believe the going rate is around 7cents a line so your basically being paid for your production amount. I have heard of alot of people making a very decent salary with transcription. There are also ICD 9 coding classes offered also which you could code for insurance agencies or physicians at home.
Thanks- Dana
