text: I don't think it's stupid at all!  I'm actually a reporting student!  :D  I'm specifically going into captioning, but I've taken NUMEROUS court reporting classes.  The paycheck when you graduate is SOOOO nice (from what I hear).  And the job is NOT boring.  Or at least I have no reason to think so!  And the beauty of it not being a highly recognized career is that when you DO get a job, you'll have LOTS of openings and opportunities to work wherever you want!  You'll never be turned down because the company or court doesn't need any more reporters.  Know what I mean?  So yeah, I think it's and awesome career and if it's what YOU want to do then GO FOR IT!  :D\nMontana
