I did pay my dues but got into this when it was a good field to pick up own accounts and they have stayed with me, some for 18 years. But through this I have a few that did not pay, was not the right fit, etc. But now I pick up the little accounts, 1 to 2 docs with tapes still but it has treated me good. I still fight traffic once a day (I chose the time of the day) but I enjoy getting out of the house and seeing the gals at the office. I have 6 to 7 years full-time until I can quit and then will do part-time. I know it could change tomorrow and so that is why I appreciate what I have today. I have learned that I worry too much about tomorrow and was not enjoying today and changed this a year or two ago. I put in about 35 hours a week with pick up and delivery, have two part-time IC's.

In a perfect world, dues would be enough; however, the Olympics is not about dues, it's about sm
winning. There are lots of athletes through the years I rooted for who were good but not good enough. Is Michelle good enough? Should she bump another more talented younger athlete from the team? Sentimentally, yes. Realistically no.
are you current with your dues?
'Nuff said.
Everyone must pay their dues....we experienced MTs sm
worked in the office in the beginning of our career. I am not as old as one might think, 38 years old, but I started MT while still in high school in the 10th grade on a typewriter. I paid my dues many times over before I could have a career at home. I have to tell you, the experience and knowledge gained in that time is priceless. Yes, we learn something new every day, but in the office you have the doctors, nurses, OMs, and other MTs to offer their assistance. If you don't know a word or can't understand it, you go right to the doc himself. So, the next time you hear it, you know what the heck he/she was talking about. That is how you learn. Sorry to say it, but an office job or MT job in one specialty is where you should start. These schools tell you that you can work at home after you finish their course. That just is an outright untruth!
Just had to give my 10 cents worth.
Sounds like union tactics, dues and all.
