text: are you a medical transcriptionist? how easy was it to become one?  how much do you make?  do you work from home?  was it hard to get hired?  i am looking into this because i need a job with flexible hours that pays ok and i would love to be able to work from home. i have been looking into that also.  it looks like it takes about 6 months to go through the schooling (and that can cost $900 to $2000).  i have seen lots of jobs available on careerbulider.com and jobbing.com.  good luck!
