When we are taking a look at what we want to do for our future, many of us probably never think about court reporting. What I want to do is show you some information regarding court reporting, just so you know that it may not be what you think it is. First off there is a high demand for this job and because of that many court reporter's are easily able to make anywhere from $60,000 to $100,000 annually. Plus, just because you went to court reporting schools does not mean that you are necessarily going to sit in a court room all day. Nope, in fact many people who have gone to school for this degree have taken other types of jobs such as real-time reporting or broadcast captioning.

So if I were to ask you how much a court reporter can make annually, what do you think it is? Well, would you have guessed anywhere around $60,000 to $100,000. See many people do not know that there is much demand in this field and with our latest technology it allows many people to also work from home. You can work as a freelancer and work for yourself or you can also get hired by a court reporting agency or even an independent contractor. See, court reporting schools doesn't sound too bad, now does it?

Here's some other information that you may not have known about as well. As I mentioned before many of us when we think about court reporters, we often think about sitting in a court room typing notes. Well the truth is, is that many people who go to court reporting schools to get this type of degree can also acquire jobs working for a broad casting company providing closed captioning for the hearing-impaired. There are many options available for you.

See, what did I tell you? Sounds like a good job right? Well to be honest I thought so too. So let me just give you a few more pieces of information and I'll let you be. If you are thinking about going to a court reporting school, keep in mind that it may take you around two to four years to learn the basic skills that you need. Plus if you are already a fast typer, then you are well on your way. If going to court reporting schools is what you want, then let us help you.

You normally only think of high paying journalism being the war crrespondents and high profile TV journalists and news readers. Was shocked to learn the earnings from court reporting. Great info thanks.

My wife does medical transcription and enjoys doing her work. However, one of the main differences in court reporting is a good court reporter can earn 3 - 5 times what a transcriptionist earns. Money-wise and career-wise, court reporting is a better choice than transcrition. Transcription may be easier to get involved with, but transcription also has a shaky future with voice recognition software. The courts are not going to be changing any time soon.
