Denise C. replied to Denise C.'s discussion How much do scopists make?"I love Brandon! Just talked to Ruth yesterday! I'll have to pass on the offer. Brandon is one of the few good agencies to work for out there. I miss them! That's what I mean when I loved working in New…"
Kelli Combs (admin) replied to Denise C.'s discussion How much do scopists make?"Doesn't hurt to upgrade to one of the two most popular software: Catalyst and Eclipse. You open the door to way, way more clients if you purchase one or both of these software packages. Can't hurt to make yourself more…"
Denise C. replied to Denise C.'s discussion How much do scopists make?"Thanks everyone! I would be interested in scoping. I'm not interested in captioning as I looked into that several years ago and I didn't think it was for me. I know I would be a great scopist as I have a good command of…"
Kelli Combs (admin) replied to Denise C.'s discussion How much do scopists make?"There's always plenty of work for a good scopist out there. I know one scopist that makes about 50K a year, but she does a lot of daily expedite work. I would think a busy scopist could make averate 35K a year."
Janet replied to Denise C.'s discussion How much do scopists make?"
You do have options, Denise. If you are a realtime reporter with clean writing, CART and/or captioning is certainly an option.
You may want to connect with a few scopists to find out more details about the…"
Janiece replied to Denise C.'s discussion How much do scopists make?"Denise, you might consider captioning. It doesn't matter where you live. And CART is an option for you too. I suppose if you can't get enough captioning/CART you could do some scoping also.
Good luck to you,
Janiece"
Mary Ann Payonk replied to Denise C.'s discussion How much do scopists make?"Hi, Denise. I'm not sure where you live, but it probably doesn't matter. The same is true in many parts of the country -- if there is limited work, there are probably scads of reporters to cover it. No travel money and…"

I'm now on the fence about going back to reporting. There is limited work where I live. I met with an agency owner and he told me that i will be "required" to travel 80-some miles each way with no travel money. His page rate is low and that's how he gets work. I contacted a local reporter the other day and she told me to "stay away from him."Maybe I should just do scoping since I have so much to offer. I'm on digitalcat.See More
Denise C. replied to Denise C.'s discussion I'm going back to work after a three-year hiatus!"That's hilarious! Yes, she likes to lay on my clothes on the guest bed (so bad about making a mess of it) while I'm on the treadmill. But they're mostly clean clothes! Problem is, when we moved in, our master suite…"

On the Geek Squad, if they can get your computer up and running and keep it under the price for a new laptop, then that is great! Otherwise, you might want to make a trip to Seattle and visit the two RePC stores to see if you can buy that same model of computer (hopefully you still have the system disks that came with your old one!). I recently picked up a refurbished IBM Thinkpad there for $140. If neither store has what you're looking for, tell the guy what you need, and give him your contact info. He'll call you when he gets one in.

Then when an agency needs a reporter in your area, you will get an email blast of the job. There are thousands of reporters all over the country set up there. Enjoy!!
