Oh, I dunno,working on an assembly line day after day and not engaging your brain at all with a crummy shift and losing your job after years doing this, cleaning toilets, emptying bedpans,stocking shelves at Walmart, handing out fries and burgers, waiting tables and serving snotty people that look down on your choice in professions? I think I will stick with my MT job and think it is about as secure as most these days. I don't see my MT job as boring. I make myself look up new instruments, drugs, and everything else so I learn something new every day.
Yup, get over yourself. But good luck with that newfound profession.

when there is no work as opposed to sm
working overtime. Its their money, they can do as they please. This is STILL America where we can spend as we please what we make.
The answer to this is to get into management so you can go on the trips too! I bet if you were going, you wouldn't complain would you?
ESLs on VR as opposed to English
at the hospital where I work makes absolutely no difference at all, in fact if not for VR and all the ESLs we have now, would probaby be pulling my hair out trying to figure out what they are trying to say. ESLs on Escription is as good as with the perfect speaking English so again, the system you have, how MTs train and the speaker makes no difference in how VR gets it. You need a good platform and then you can make a good salary on it.
liking tax break as IC as opposed to employee
I have a question...I am an IC where my employer took out no taxes whatsoever....no W-2 form, but received 1099-MISC form....ends up I had my tax preparer prepare my taxes today...I ended up having to owe the government for first time in my life...I am single parent claiming head of household. Come to realize no FICA taxes out whatsoever by my employer....usually an employer who gives you a W-2 form pays half the FICA and you the other...just wondering how is it better to be an IC person as opposed to an employee come tax time? As an IC, I received no benefits whatsoever, no taxes whatsoever were taken out of my checks, no overtime, no medical, no PTO AND I owe????? Do IC people usually make more than me or what? She is paying us 9 cents per character line with 70 characters per line with spaces...old fashioned slow down system...C-phone and a book to look up every doctor...??? Am really wondering....how do people on here who state they make past 20,000 per year doing what I am trying to figure out to do? Sincerely
As opposed to what sort of "panties" she wears normally? Thanks for that mental picture!
