This board is no worse than some of the others. There is one out there if you didn't/don't go to one of the "3" MT schools your are doomed to failure and forever earn the rath of the regulars over there. Never disagree. Never ask for help. It only takes a few to set the tone. May be that is why I am an observer, not a participant.

Where are all the meanies???...sm

It is so nice to read the helpful and actually POSITIVE information in this post. Normally when someone comes on here asking for advice about whether or not to get into the MT profession he/she is bombarded with posts about how much people hate their jobs, no money, horrible hours, outsources, ESL, VR....on and on and on. I know this is not the best time to be an MT right now, but it sure works for me!!! I love my job and wouldn't give it up for anything.

I guess my post about being negative scared off all of the negative people. Huh. I wonder if I would have posted about how great it is people would have done the opposite? Interesting theory...lol
