"The field is still growing and it will continue to grow as long as the FCC [Federal Communications Commission] continues to demand that TV be captioned," says Chris Leininger. He is a closed captioning supervisor.

"Probably the biggest crunch is going to come in real-time captioning -- simply because it requires a very highly trained and specifically trained individual."

Jack Boenau owns a captioning company in Florida. He also sees the profession's prospects as good.

"Right now, the field is very good," he says. "There is a demand right now for real-time captioners who are able to use their skills on broadcast television and in college classrooms for deaf and hard of hearing students."

Earnings and employment information from the U.S. Department of Labor is not available for this field at this time.
