But I have written and canceled my membership.  If I am going to get screwed over, I would rather not pay someone to do it for me.

    Amen.... Gravity is definitely working on my 45-year-old, post breastfeeding mammaries.

    Amen! Amen! Amen. You have helped me this day, by taking out time to write such a post!
    May God bless you tremendously.
    Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

    Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
    money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc.  Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
    to cowgirl - Last I knew, last year the job paid $25,000/year no taxes, etc.
    The hospital was bombed about a year ago, but not a lot of damage, very minimal damage.

    After I went to a 1-year MT course at a vocational school, it was so bad that I did the 2-year colle
    Not only did I finally receive the proper training, but the woman on the advisory board hired and mentored me. I also joined the local AAMT and networked. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. A community college will have a good program to include medical language, MT courses taught by local MTSOs, business English, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, etc.
    I think he makes $700,000.00 a year, and if they ask him to walk before his first year MQ has...sm

    to pay him a cool 1 million dollars.  You can check this out at the Medquist website.   I think the CFO makes $350,000 a year, and the head of IT makes $250.000 a year.


    P.S.  This does not include the perks, like expense account, car allowance, sign-on bonus, etc. 


    Our 16 year old son has been working for a year now to pay for his truck.
    He's learning how to sand and do body work and how the engine and transmission go together. My parents didn't buy cars for my siblings and I either. I had a 20+ year old beater car until I could afford to move up to a a newer one.

    I see all the nice new cars parked in the high school parking lot every day. It's nice that so many disrespectful punk kids get handed something nicer to drive than what all the teachers drive. Oh, well. Honestly, I think most of them borrow Mommy or Daddy's car or are the child of a doctor who can afford to hand them everything.

    Hopefully, my kids will take better care of their cars because they bought and built them on their own. You're not going to grow up to be responsible if you don't work hard for something and expect Mommy and Daddy to bail you out all the time.

    Oh, my Dad lectured us on even allowing our child to have a vehicle because Dad didn't have one until after he had worked his way through college, lettered on the football team, got straight As, lettered on the baseball team, yadda yadda. He either walked or hitched a ride. Yeah, well, times were different back then, Daddy-O. LOL At least my kid has the opportunity to work and earn his own car.
    IC - 30 hours week, $98K last year. So far this year - 28K. sm
    Individual IC - own account(s).
    Not me, owed last year, and expect to owe this year- sm
    or break even, had more expenses this year. Only owed $200 but still don't want to owe at all. Need to start doing estimated tax payments again so I don't owe! Guess I will get off my butt and do that this year.
    Amen!
    It's about time!  So glad not just the Aruban people think this way.
    Amen!

    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
    it's like no matter what, someone has something to say! I just don't know anymore.  All this negative energy could be put to such better use!
    AMEN
    I was almost provoked enough by your negativity to stoop to your level, but caught myself just in time. Please have a nice day :) !!

    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!
