Yes, still doing med transcription for now until I finish my degree in March. I went back to school online at 55 and am now 62 and almost done! I finally figured out what I want to do and seem to be a natural counselor (or so I’m told). So I’m hoping I can find something where I can accumulate hours toward a license.

So do you work for a hospital still? I was an MT for 26 years until the hospital decided to have Dictaphone/Nuance take over transcription duties. Nuance said they’d hire us all but on a production basis, so our checks would probably be cut in half. Speech recognition and offshoring both contributed to killing off a great occupation, IMO.

I’m back in school for coding/billing now and may continue on for a RHIT certificate. However, at my age (61 next week) I’m not holding out much hope of actually getting a job. I’m also working on expanding my craft business on Etsy for extra money in my old age.
