I'm not attacking anyone here, but...

In Reply to: 8 cents? You need a raise - sm - Giblet
It makes me wonder about all of the people who come on here and cry and complain, "Oh, I don't make enough. Oh, back in the day I made more. Oh, I'm so undercompensated," poor me, poor me, etc. Let's face facts. We all went to an online course of some sort, a little community college, or even "learned on the job", but act as if they should be getting paid as if they had gone to a graduate school. I'm an MT too. I'm not trying to belittle our trade, just trying to be realistic. Then people come on here and say that 0.08 cpl is not good enough and it's time for a raise, as if that is so far below the average. In answer to your question, look at the job board. That is the average--0.08 cpl; some even offer 0.07 or less. Yes, I'm sure that there are those exceptions who make, like, ten times that and will let me know about it, but the average is 0.08.
I make 0.08 cpl and type at a nice leisurely pace throughout my days. I average about $2000/month and you know what? I am more than satisfied with that. That's right--I said it--I like my job. I like how much I get paid. I like being able to save money on gas for commuting, business attire, being able to write off my expenses at the end of the year, being able to watch my daughter grow up, etc., and even have a little left over. I LIKE BEING AN MT ( who is getting paid 0.08 cpl)!!

You come on here attacking US MTs.
Then you sit back protesting that you're the victim here and everyone else has a negative attitude. Get real. Reread your own posts. See the truth with your own eyes. I could care less if you offshore or not because you're only here trying to justify it. You won't post the name of your company. Maybe you don't even have one? You attack people in a negative fashion, then claim that they have the negative attitude. My horoscope told me to avoid negative people today, and you're the only negative person I've seen today, so Buh-Bye!!!!
Not attacking Jodi, just you!
You asked the question about your husband's condition. You did nothing once you got advice. You came back and asked a second time if it was something you could wait out. You asked this to a MT board who are not doctors. You got several responses about how you should take him to a doctor. You were upset because people were telling you to take him to the ER and you didn't have the money or whatever. You came back and called people crazy for telling you to take him to the doctor and left a mad face at the end! That is the way I see it, tell me if I am wrong, but that seemed kinda crazy of YOU!
Wasn't attacking anyone. Have a nice day.
