So how long have you been doing this from home? Are you offered different "contracts" and you accept or refuse based on how busy you want to be, or how does it work?
I already spoke with someone from Accentus here in Montreal inquire about what correspondence course they recommend, and they said CanScribe from BC, which is like $5000.00. But I see other courses available for less than $2000.00. Was your course on-line or "in person", and about how much did you need to pay, if you don't mind me asking?
