10-12 hours a week for part time MT - Enough?

[Guest guest]

I am trying to scope out my week. Work a full time job M-F and am

planning on allowing 10-12 hours per week max to work at home

doing medical transcription while finishing out the balance of

this semester in school.

I want to be fair but don't want to get coo coo trying to work as

many hours as possible. Keeping focused on that 10-12.

Is that really enough time for an employer to get from me

starting out? I want to work Friday nights and all day Sat. only

on the medical transcription to start. Thanks in advance for your

comments and advice. Bill

I think it depends on what account you can find and what kind of TAT they want.

Nationals I think

require at least 20 hours for PT. When I started out, I worked only a few hours

a week, but it was a

very small local account who had tapes ready on Fridays, with a few stat reports

during the week but

only occasionally. On those, the work amount greatly varied, so some weeks I had

one or two tapes,

and another week I had six. I had a three-month old when I started and I mostly

did the work for the

experience, so that was plenty for me at the time. And a little extra income

didn't hurt.
