I am currently a court reporter and want to get out of the field? Does anyone know of another career in which my skills would be needed? I'm thinking maybe a medical transcriptionist or a litigation legal secretary? Does anyone know if I would qualifty?

Get out now - out of the field of Law, while you have the opportunity...............
Jobs in the field of Law are drying up FAST!! This is a SHRINKING vocational field. This is NOT a good field to invest time and/or money in. Many reasons. THE main reason?........We simply have WAY TOO MANY Legal Professionals - we have a GLUT! ("Legal Professionals" includes, but is not limited to: Attorneys/Lawyers, Paralegals, Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Bailiffs, Court Reporters, etc, etc)
Since there are so few jobs in the field of Law right now, new attorneys/lawyers are having to work "down" (as Paralegals, Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Bailiffs, Court Reporters, etc, etc)
Watch out for the law schools - they will feed you a fairytale. They KNOW the job market/economy is SATURATED. Yet they continue to recruit and churn out even MORE graduates. The root of the problem is that we have way too many law schools than we need (and/or can really use).
Now if you want a JOB with some security, consider and look into the field of HEALTHCARE!
Good luck.
