CMT since 1980 sm
Quit when hospitals said (New England) that they did not acknowledge it. They wanted classroom credit only in a college setting. I think the big suits want to say that they have XYZ CMT's employed by them (doesn't matter to them) for professional showmanship. I don't know the answer. If you can afford it, take it, I guess there are no hospital jobs left anyway. Not much help, but it is my personal experience.

I've been doing it since 1980. SM
Started out at a hospital, promoted to supervisor, quit that silly business and went back to hourly + incentive MT. Since 1998 I've been an IC. We haven't lacked for much. I do very well at it.
Also it took exactly 28 days to do (this was 1980) - nm

Miami's job ads since 1980 have said
and most of us have no problems whatsoever -
AND if they won't assimilate, which many will not - I see that but it still doesn't bother me...all that much - WOULD IT KILL ANY ONE OF YOU TO LEARN A FEW WORDS IN ANOTHER TONGUE??!?? Language can be soooo fun.....You're all MTs, how do you NOT enjoy language AND if you DO enjoy language - how do you NOT enjoy MANY languages - learning about them, origins of words, MOST WORDS come from the Greek, Latin, French, German......
USA English is a made-up language that came from proper (King's) English and is why it is soooo difficult for most foreigners to LEARN it...yes, our grandparents did learn it, some of our parents even.....but by no means is it PROPER ENGLISH in my mind....
Just ask George Carlin *lol*
and this is just my own opinion so no flames please....not looking to start a war here....
I felt the same way but in 1980,
when I got into the world of MT. I had HIGH hopes that this was a smart career move for me. Unfortunately, when we were let go by the hospitals in the late 1980's to work at home for MTSO's, that is when our respect and low wages began. I do not blame the MTSO's, however, as I do know the lowest bidder gets the hospital accounts. The hospitals do not care that much about quality; they mainly want a low rate and a fast turnaround. Sad but true. The MTSO's do not have a fast track to wealth. I think the ones making the big bucks are those who sell the MT course and promise the moon!
I started in 1980
at 10.25 an hour at a small 2-doctor clinic. In 1989 I charged .10 a GROSS line as an IC, in 2000 .15 a 60-char line. In 2006, my main client switched to a national MTSO, who offered me 0.6 a 65-char line, which I thought was some kind of joke. Little did I know...Right now I'm making 20/hour at as a hospital MT and holding my breath.
