An MT Career is for Me!
For most of my life I have wanted to work in the medical field. In high school I poured myself over medical books and dreamed of becoming a nurse or a genetics counselor or even a veterinarian. But with so many options how do you choose? My own medical problems made that an easy choice for me. In my late teens I developed an anxiety disorder which made working in crowded or noisy places uncomfortable. My work in a busy call center became so difficult that I had to quit. Then one day I read an article online about stay at home jobs and everything just fell into place. For me, medical transcription became the dream career.
There are so many advantages to working in an MT career that they are hard to count. First of all, it would remedy the problems I have with working in crowds and noise. However, one of the very best reasons would be my ability to stay home and care for my infant son, Orion. Its so hard to trust others to care for your children in todays’ world and it would be such a comfort to know that he is always in my capable hands and not subjected to the goings on of a baby sitter. Not to mention I wouldn’t have to miss one smile, giggle, or milestone unlike other parents who sadly miss so very much having to be away from home to work. So I’d have to say being able to be at home is the number one advantage to a Medical Transcription career.
This MT course was the most appealing to me. I’ve looked at dozens of different courses ranging from three months to two years until completion. On many of the longer courses it is required to take a lot of basic math, science and English classes. In high school, I completed many college level and advance placement classes which eliminate the need to repeat such classes to be a successful MT. For me it feels like it would just be an unnecessary repeat course. This translates to time wasted when I could have already completed the course and be working. For this reason alone the FutureMT course offered here is my number one choice overall. I am very motivated to move my career along quickly so that I can begin providing a better life for my little family. Therefore, within six months I wish to have started and completed an MT program. Within a year I hope to be working in an MT career. In five to ten years I hope to have steady work and an established reputation for the quality of my work and the speed in which I do it. I am not looking to be a grand career woman or make ridiculous amounts of money. I have more of a realistic point or view. My only wish is to provide a consistent and steady income to keep my family afloat in this ever changing world.
