Validation

The other day I saw a television commercial that’s airing in Sioux Falls for AIB School of Business in Des Moines, Iowa, touting the need for court reporters. It’s similar to the commercial that was aired by Colorado Technical University last year that prompted me to enroll in college and get my degree in court reporting. CTU’s court reporting commercial has stopped airing, but seeing another college try to drum up court reporting students stating the demand for court reporters is going to increase in the next four to five years is something I LOVE hearing! Many court reporters are close to retirement age and there simply aren’t enough court reporters entering the field to replace them.

I live in South Dakota and our instructor told us that there are approximately 80 court reporters in the entire state and many plan to retire within the next three to four years. That puts me in a pretty good position when I graduate.
