You know, wanting to be with my dogs every day is probably one of the biggest reasons that I took the leap about three years ago, quit my job, and went into debt to get training in medical transcription. It wasn't the only reason, I also was very unhappy at my job then and desperately wanting to do something else, but I am happiest with the dogs and it was a big factor in my decision in what profession to look into. After about a year of endless studying of medical terminology and the proper format of various medical reports, etc., I began the task of looking for a place that would contract me to work for them from home, but everywhere I looked they wanted people to have years of experience working in the field before they would hire.

Then I had finally given up and was desperately looking for part-time work out of the home because we had gotten so poor on only one income that we were both going hungry a lot trying to pay the bills. It was truly some hard times and the job market was terrible. One day I just happened to hear a casual aquaintance talking about this company she just signed on with that were looking for MTs and were desperate for people. I asked her for the e-mail address and sent off my resume and letter with my fingers crossed, and low and behold they called me and were willing to give me a shot. I've been with them a year now and am thankful every day that I made it and attained my dream.

So that is that little tale
