Becoming a MT with a criminal record... Possible???


Posted: Aug 13, 2012

Hi I am thinking about becoming a MT but unfortunatly I do have a criminal record. I had gotten into some trouble back in 2008 so now I have a misdemenor assault. It has been hard finding a job, mostly working directly with people but if I do become a MT I would want to work from home to be with my son. Also I was thinking of going though Penn Foster. Will I be able to find a job with the assault? What do you think about Penn Foster?? Thanks!

The thing is, I've been in this business for over a decade (I was in the Army prior to becoming a transcriptionist) and the pay keeps going down and the companies keep getting bought out and the work is harder and harder to find. I'm now employed by one of the big 2 and most days I'm waiting for work. Also, I'm thinking that a misdemeanor shouldn't keep you from being employed. Most companies are really only concerned with felonies. However, if you've had difficulties based on your record, Goodwill Industries does some excellent work in job placement for people with criminal records, just contact your local Goodwill and ask for an employment specialist. Good luck!

I could be an ax murderer as far as - the people I work for know...

and I don't really think they would care. The other responder is right though, I would definitely not put money into getting a transcription education. I am making less than I did per line than when I started, although I make more money because I have a lot of experience. Save yourself the headache and look into something else....professional boxing perhaps.....just kidding ya :) Good luck to you!

I'm very insulted at your sense of humor. I'm a Catholic and definitely not a pedophile! There are pedophiles in all religions so your choice of words was very crass.
I couldn't have crossed the line if they hadn't crossed - it first. SM

And why dont we hear about it with other religions? I am sure after this all started with the Catholics, other religions were picked apart with a fine tooth comb, yet seldom hear about it with other religions. Personally, I think the celibacy thing is why Catholicism is so associated with this particular vice.

vulgar pastor. They told me to keep quiet about it!! WHAT??? They asked the wrong person to keep quiet about it. I have told everyone I see what he did. He should not still be preaching, but it was their choice to have a perverted pastor. My kids and I will not go back!

Penn Foster, they truly are awful. Any of those like Penn Foster, AT-Home professions, etc, are a waste of time and money, no one will hire you from those. I worked with a lady who did Penn Foster, boy was she bad. Luckily the powers that be saw how bad she was and she was gone.
