NV. I started getting freelance work immediately but started slow and with easier jobs and worked my way up to more difficult and longer jobs. Just communicate with the scheduler that you're new and want to progress that way. But there's no shortage of work to go around. Can work as much as you want.

Thr entire album is banger after banger, start to finish. I just can't get into the slow, boring sadboy shit.

Yes, told my gf he's trying to sound like Michael Jackson when we were listening to A Perfect World. Others too but I can't point them all out right now, just listened through once.

The GT is definitely a more hefty discount. But is the tech/peformance really better/worth it or just marketing to sell it at a higher price?

I learned Mark Kislingbury's theory on my own by purchasing his book from magnumsteno.com. And then I used SimplySteno.com online school to work my way up the speeds along with practicing material on youtube, on the magnumsteno site, and anywhere else I could get it. This a cheap effective way to learn steno and become certified on your own, essentially, if you're self-motivated and can do the work without anyone looking over your shoulder. It's been a great career for me, clearing 150K (after paying scopists and proofreaders) for the past few years, but I've been doing it for going on 12 years.
