All you money-hungry MTSOs out there are getting rich off the backs of people who have invested a lot in this profession, and have as strong a desire to work as you, or anyone else out there.

For what it's worth, I handle HR while my other half handles everything else. Our net each month is still less than any of our FT MTs are making, and we work a lot more than 40 hours a week - we're on call 24/7 a day, and that's no joke.

I think calling MTSOs greedy is painting with a pretty wide brush.
