It seems to me that many people who have posted this week think that any difference between what the MT is paid and the MTSO charges the clients is pure profit.

MTSOs have to pay for a huge amount of overhead including insurance benefits, building leases/rent/mortgages, utilities, facility maintenance, computer equipment, servers, phone and teleconferencing systems, office supplies, IT staffing, HR staffing...the list goes on and on.

There is a much much bigger picture out there.
