Amen! AAMT has let us down BIG TIME!

I remember 30 years ago when AAMT was first "hatched." It seemed like it was too good to be true. Turned out I was right. They have done NOTHING for us except standardize grammar - what about promoting our profession? Getting us the recognition and respect this profession deserves? Getting us the money we deserve in compensation for the vast knowledge we need to to do this job? AAMT is a joke - they are a very self-important group, but have done NADA for the every day MT.

Amen! Amen! Amen. You have helped me this day, by taking out time to write such a post!
May God bless you tremendously.
AMEN to AAMT - NOT !! nm

AAMT has been working on that for a long time. Frankly sm
I would prefer AAMT start working on getting us better working conditions, a more standardized and fair pay scale, and benefits, instead of certifying offshore MTs and getting involved in offshoring to the extent that they are. Really, now, which do you care most about?
It hasn't been called AAMT in a long time. nm
AAMT constantly changes the rules every time they have a new edition of their BOS to sell.
They've been taking advantage of MT's for years and have no shame. I want no part of it, and never have.
Get involved? With AAMT? You've got to be joking. What an incredible waste of time.
It wasn't ALL that and it was expensive no matter. I'm sick of hearing the same old blather and seeing NO change that benefits AMERICAN MTs. I'm in California so it was nothing for me to hop from the mainland, but EVERYTHING on the Hawaiian Islands is expensive. Of course, the Modesto Mavens were there in all their AAMT glory. Can you say PUKE? Sorry, but that's the way I feel about it. I went to see if anything had changed, REALLY changed, and most of it was a big bunch of double talk. Oh, and to think that I actually thought that I might interject in conversation! Boy, was I wrong. I'll never attend another AAMT convention again in my life. What a waste of time and money.
Oh, someone benefits from AAMT - AAMT DOES!

Since when is agreeing with someone's opinion nasty and/or hippocritical? I did not make any personal remarks.... I don't understand the problem.
AMEN to your AMEN...sm

I feel exactly the same way! I also play an integral part in supporting my family, as my DS has a seasonal business and we'll be getting into the slow time soon. I am so scared - after over 10 yrs with MQ and companies that had been swallowed by MQ, this is the absolute worst time I've ever had. I truly wish I could get out of the MT industry forever at this point.
Amen Tia
I couldn't have said it better myself!!! I too live in a small town in Louisiana (Gueydan) and we have opened our Civic Center to evacuees. I agree that this will forever change our country!!!

I had a T10 fracture a few years ago and it hasn't stopped me, although I will say I am more careful about things. Won't give up riding ever!! Plus, who knows, we might need our horses with the gas shortage! 
Amen. That too!

Amen to that. Been there, done that.
I went back to nursing school when my children were in their early teens and they hated it. All I did when I was at home was study. Nursing school and then the nursing profession is very, very taxing. Study is long and hard to get through nursing school. The hours are crummy and the job is tough. Think a lot about it and do it only if it's what YOU want. Best of luck whatever you decide.
