"Job Outlook

The BLS predicts that the demand for social workers will increase faster than the national average until the year 2014. This is due to the rapidly expanding healthcare and elderly care industries. The demand for counselors is expected to increase more quickly than the national average, and the employment of social and human services assistants is expected to increase much faster than the national average through 2014."

Has any one taken an online distance learning course from a vocational school (what did you think did it help)

We Answered:

I got all my prerequisites for my masters degree through distance learning. I loved it. you have to be very disciplined though to read the material, take notes at home and go write a test at a testing center or just send in papers. I know a lot of people that got very far behind or just ended up quitting.

Does anybody know of any legitimate online medical transcriptioning schools that I can enroll in?

We Answered:

I actually don't, but let me give you a piece of advice.

Go searching for a school that has accreditation. If you have a disability & have been considered for or already receiving benefits, you might be eligible for financial aid in the form of a Pell grant or student loan and possibly something other. Schools with accreditation have money to give out to students. I know because I attended one. Having accreditation does not always mean they are a good school. If you can get in on an MT chat room, there are MTs on there who might be able to give you some info about good on-line schools.
