I do the same thing (watch them with closed captions) and I get the feeling it's a low paying job (maybe not for the real time ones...)
Sometimes it seems like the closed captioners just don't care. They don't pay attention to the meanings of the sentences, they just transcribe the words. If a show makes up a word/uses a non-native word (like in some cartoons/anime), it is almost always written badly.

It would be kind of fun, though.
