Hi Dannette. I actually passed the CSR exam more than 20 years ago and worked as a freelance reporter for five years before life's circumstances forced me to take on a more 'normal' schedule. I recently took an early retired from my 9-5 law firm job and am now interested in returning to court reporting -- but not as a reporter. I only want to do something part-time that will allow me to stay at home. I'd like to do some scoping but need to bring myself up to speed on what I know must be very different keystrokes than what I learned in the early 80s.

Best of luck to you as you pursue this thing!
