you want a career where you can earn over $15-$25 an hour working part-time from home? Then consider becoming a transcriptionist.
Transcription work is still in demand for companies who need their interviews, focus groups, podcasts, etc, transcribed. There are many ways to work as a transcriptionist, but I recommend starting out your career by subcontracting for transcription companies.
