Why don't court reporters give specifics about how much money they make?
As I'm sure you're aware of by now, there are many different routes to take in court reporting -- officialship, freelance court reporter, CART provider, captioner. All salaries vary greatly depending on the location you work and which one of these you choose. It can also vary depending on your skillset and the type of work you want to take. We don't give specifics because of these factors, and we don't want to be misleading. However, you can narrow down the area and want to work in and the type of work you want to do and Google it and find some pretty useful information.
