A few years ago I worked with a guy who's wife was a medical transcriptionist. He told me that she worked out of their house and made over $40,000 a year.
I knew roughly what he made, I also knew where they lived and what kind of car he drove. His claim seemed plausible to me.
$40,000 a year is a nice chunk of change!

Depends on what state you work in. Many are retiring at this point but the great thing is that you can work from home or a private practice or at a hospital setting. Typically you would make between 2,000 to 3,000 a month. The work is times as well and ICD-9 is something that you would have to memorize from top top bottom....

My mom used to do it, and she got paid "by line". Plus with some companies you can work at home. If this is the route you decide to go, make sure that you don't have to pay for the equipment that you have to have at home to transmit. And you need to be really computer savvy to do it.
So, anyway, as long as you can type really fast (and there are code shortcuts to make it even faster) then you can make quite a little chunk of change.
Good luck!

Hell yeah, im doing it right now as im typing it at home. Its also great if you want to do it part-time if you are a student. Full-time also pays in spades.
