The generalization is the real picture. There are exceptions to the generalization but
people are not generalizing things that are not true. I visited a friend who lived in a trailer park and it was very bleak and depressing and that was without red neck loud neighbors.
And see? There's the generalization.
"they either can't type or are trying to cook, clean, babysit and instead of making lines, they are making complaints"
Those of us who aren't fast either can't type or are cleaning house. Don't think so, honey. I have a separate office. I have an Expander and Dragon Naturally Speaking. I even know how to spell millennium and lots of other big words without using spellcheck. My kids are all in school fulltime. The problem isn't with me because I can make $30+ per hour on ONE of my accounts without using an expander. I also used to make production incentives at the hospital for going over and above. So please, spare us your sweeping generalizations about how we must be bad, distracted or lazy MTs because I'm really tired of speed demons spouting off nonsense against slowpokes when all we're trying to do is figure out how to make a decent income.
There are too many factors to even make a comparison. How long with company, how much experience, how long with software, how many different account specs in one day, how many different dictators in a month, how many faxes to find demographic information, how a line is counted, how much the expander can be used, etc.
What a generalization....
I have lung problems and am fine here. I went to Florida recently. I liked it, but missed home. My friend moved himself and his daughter out to the country a long time ago. He had more problems there with kids with drugs, etc., than he did in Houston and ended up moving back...not saying that is the norm, but it happens.
Also, sometimes there are things available to kids in cities that are not as available in the country. My kids are actively involved in gymnastics and they do not have the same facilities out in the country. I guess it all depends on what you are looking for, but Houston is not just a bunch of illegals, drugs and traffic. There is more to the city than that.
Besides, there are a ton of gorgeous places in Texas where one could live if commuting was not a problem. Texas is a very beautiful state with very nice people.
Sorry, but gross generalization.
I am married to a very well-educated, white collar guy and he does everything for me that you described your blue collar guy does for you and more. While DH is clean and well-groomed, he is far from vain and not at all the stereotype you described. Also, I've seen blue collar men who are disgusting pigs who just want to drink beer and watch TV.
Conclusion: There are both blue and white collar princes and both blue and white collar toads, so please do not generalize. :-)
Sweeping generalization -- please be more specific......sm
You don't say what type of violation this is. It may be that it is not a violation at all. There is a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to HIPAA.
