career as a court reporter?
is it a good idea if I'm an extremely fast typer and have an interest in law?
what's the career outlook for court reporters? will I have trouble finding a job once I get a degree/certification in this?
do any of you actually work as a court reporter? what's it like? would you recommend it?

I think they use special equipment, but fast typing couldn't hurt.
Strong growth in the fied: "Employment is projected to grow by 18 percent, reflecting the demand for real-time broadcast captioning and translating"
I'd say its worth talking with some people in the field. find out what they actually do and if its right for you.
