Odds of Getting In
In the words of our uncle from the backwoods somewhere, your odds are "purdy gude." If you are willing to put the hours into getting your fingers and ears to peak recording precision, you shouldn't have any trouble finding the jobs. If you can type like a pro, you'll be wanted everywhere.
We're talking courtrooms, business meetings, public hearings, closed-caption services—even software companies need people transcribing what users tell them. Every city, town, and village in America needs a least one person writing down everything said at an official meeting. The world is your stenographic oyster, or whatever sea creature you may be into (we don't judge).
