Have you grown tired of what you are currently doing at your place of business? Perhaps you are a young adult looking for a challenging and interesting career, not really having decided what it is you want to do yet. Doing a self-evaluation can help you figure out what you're interested in, and your path of self-discovery may lead you to consider the position of court reporter. 

​Do What You Love - Think of the fact that, once you decide on which career path you are going to take, you will be doing it over and over, day after day for many years, or maybe even for the entire time you work. Keeping that in mind might help you to choose which profession you want to be in. Ask yourself questions like, Do I enjoy being with other people? When I was in high school, did I enjoy selling things when we did money raising? Do I want to be in the world of business? Do I want to learn new languages and travel? By asking yourself questions, the answers might lead you to decide on a career that is a good one for you. For example, if you answered that you do want to be in the world of business, you might be interested in becoming a stock broker or a banker. If you love words and you take pride in the accuracy of everything you do, consider a profession as a teacher or even as a court reporter.

Learn About Court Reporting - In your self-evaluation, if you came to the realization that you want to use your skills that are related to language and to your gift of paying attention to detail, you might have thought about becoming a teacher or a court reporter. You probably already know a great deal about teaching, simply because you were a student for years and you observed your teachers. However, you may not know a lot about court reporting. Think about talking to people who are court reporters to see how much they like their work. Find out, too, what the training requires and how to find a job. If you speak a second language, or if you speak several languages, court reporting might be a great career choice. Find out if the school you are interested in requires a college degree. You'll have in-class instruction where you will learn how to be a stenotype operator, and then more than likely you will work with an experienced stenotype operator until you are ready to go solo.
