right after finishing my MT school, but now that I have more experience and have worked in-house, I can't? I am getting so frustrated right now. If I don't land a job soon, we will go into foreclosure on our house. I have applied to over 25 companies, and I am still applying and testing.

Okay, I just needed to vent for a minute.

Can I come join you in La La Land?
Your dreamin.

How'd you land that interview?
Did you work for the company already? I'd love to be a trainer or tech person for an MTSO. I'm very qualified, but I'm stuck typing boring reports. As for hourly wage, I'm not sure what the going rate is for trainer in the MT world. I make $30 an hour teaching adult ed and online classes, but I don't have enough classes to replace my MT income. Plus, there's so much work outside of the classroom, grading papers, lesson plans and reading that it's really NOT $30 an hour.

Can you find the MTSO posts?

OT can be collected retroactively through Dept of Labor if you kept records.

You are one of hundreds. Follow up on it.

Agree. Got any swamp land to sell her? nm

Well, I don't know if I'd call India a "terrorist land."
And why are you calling yourself spectator? Enjoying the sport, are you?

and I have prime land in the everglades for sale.

Oh to live in that nice little fairy land :)
Yep, that is why I got into this business. I have my days (like when I started this whole mess the other night) when I feel so down about how hard this business is, but I obviously have it in my bones because I've tried going outside the home a few times over the years and always end up coming back. It definitely has major ups and downs, but all in all, there really isn't a better way to work and be there for your children (at least somewhat). Praise the Lord they aren't coming home to an empty house every afternoon or being alone all summer. Most days I'm able to appreciate my life and be thankful for this job/line of work - but there are days I just want to scream. I do think this industry takes major advantage of us and find it getting worse and worse each year, but I am grateful for not having to deal with traffic; getting to wear comfy clothes to work; and have the flexibity to take my kids to school, pick them up, and go to their school functions.

:) Happy typing!

MTSOs are going into la-la land, losing the grip on reality!...nm
