text: going to school for judicial reporter, anyone think that's lame??? i am going to school to become a judicial reporter. my friends think it's stupid because it's not a recognized career. i really enjoy working with police officers because i've done it in the past, but for some reason they think it's lame. i really think i should finish scool and get it over with. but, they think i'm going to get bored in that profession. starting salary is 40k. i am really looking forward to graduation but, no one else is... i don't think it's stupid at all!  i'm actually a reporting student!  :d  i'm specifically going into captioning, but i've taken numerous court reporting classes.  the paycheck when you graduate is soooo nice (from what i hear).  and the job is not boring.  or at least i have no reason to think so!  and the beauty of it not being a highly recognized career is that when you do get a job, you'll have lots of openings and opportunities to work wherever you want!  you'll never be turned down because the company or court doesn't need any more reporters.  know what i mean?  so yeah, i think it's and awesome career and if it's what you want to do then go for it!  :d montana
