My sisters sister-n-law does medical transcription work from home. All she had to do was get high speed internet and some training. I never get to talk to her so I haven't been able to ask her how easy or hard the training and work is. So I was wondering, does anyone have any experience in this type of work? How easy or hard was the training and does it pay as good as she says? I am interested in doing this but I need to find an online class to take for the training since I don't have a car. I am a web content writer but I am tired of writing articles every day. I want something different. Like data entry or medical transcription. Whatever I do has to be online since I don't have a car. Anyone know anything about this type of work?

I think she is doing an online outsourcing job. Actually there's a lot of similar jobs you can apply for on the internet. But you need to have a full multimedia computer with high speed internet access. It's important because all the works will be done from the internet. One of the most popular such job is call center. Especially in India, there's a biggest outsorcing company at there which have cooperation with Europe telecommunication company. That European company using the India employees as their call center. This scheme can save much money since the company don't need to prepare special room for the employees. All the employees just doing their job from their home with their computer and internet access. Well, this is just what i read from my favourite online news site. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

There are opportunities for this also. I had seen some correspondence courses in the web search. I have joined no where yet. But how far it is yielding I have no idea. Best of luck
