Medical transcription is legit, though you have to take classes for it. I went to Career Step. I love my job!!! I have been doing it now for almost 2 years.
 
I would love to find a work at home job but I have no training at all.
 
Do you ever check out the wahm.com board? They have leads there for some general transcription and misc. telecommuting jobs like sales, virtual assistants, and different things.

ok thanks I will check it out. maybe I will get lucky and find some work at home job I could really use the money. how does the one that you work for pay you? do they send checks use paypal or what? and what about taxes do they take them out of your check? If not does it hurt you at the end of the year?
 
Most of the transcription companies do direct deposit (some still do checks, but not many). You can work either IC or employee, it all depends on the company (can find a lot of med. transcription companies here: www.transcriptionresource.com). IC won't take out taxes at all... but you can claim part of your house/utilities as an office, so that actually benefits me.

I went to www.careerstep.com for my schooling and it took approx. 8 months for me to complete. Everyone is different with that too, as it is a go at your own pace sort of thing.
 
Thanks for the links. I don't have any training, but I now that the 1st link you have there trains people. My mom gave me that link. :)
 
How much did your training cost? I have some basic transcription skills, thanks to taking the administrative assistant courses at Vo-Tech when I was in high school. The only thing that I'm missing for medical transcription is the medical terminology, I think...

did it cost alot to go to this school? my husband has looked into taking some classes with the online school and wow they cost a fortune alot more that we could afford that is forsure.
 
I'm looking at careerstep.com right now, and they are quoting a price of $1560 for the course... They also accept some loans and scholarships, from what I've found.

What about grants I think a grant is where you don't have to pay it back right? that would be great if we could get a grant. You know I just don't know if I am smart enough to even pass I have problems helping my daughter with her homework. scary scary. wish that I would have went to school right out of highschool then I would not have to worry about such things.
 
I am new to all these things , but love to do work form home.I hope I am not too silly to ask but .......
what if anybody wishes( like me) to work for these but is not a resident of US or lives outside of US.
 
The link that my mom gave me, the training is free. There are some other places that have training for free. I don't know where I worte down the links at the moment though.
 
I hope you find those links... I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate them.
 
Only problem with the free ones, is companies generally won't hire without one of the top 3 schools.

My sister took At Home Professions and also Vo-Tech transcription classes, they won't even respond to her. They are really serious about who they hire because it can be really hard work. The top 3 schools that they generally hire from have really comprehensive training.
