The Rat Race

What would you rather do - sit at home all day transcribing medical records or sit in a truck all day driving from town to town. The two jobs have several similarities. They are both indoors - and yes, I count a truck as being indoors since you are in a cab, often with the window up and the air on.

Yet they are really not that different to many other jobs. If you work in an office, you are inside, you have distractions (work mates, telephones, the boss). The only real question you need to ask if you wanted that transcription job is whether or not you Can You Handle A Medical Transcription Profession?

Driving a truck is the same. Can you handle it? There’s More To Dump Trucks Than Meets The Eye these days with articulated truck becoming popular and the old rigid trucks less so. You are still in a cab but at least the scenery changes occasionally.

Of course, you could try Start Fresh with Household Moves. Move house, get a new job, working outside away from airconditioning and ringing phones, away from the sound of traffic and other people. Somewhere like this I think:

get away from the rat race
