All of this is true.  I started way back when we typed on typewriters from dictation on the blue belts and from tanks (before tapes came along).  The equipment has changed tremendously over the years, but the only thing changing in MT is drugs and instruments.  The internet has helped with research, but you are talking to people who did not have that information at their fingertips so when you looked it up, you actually learned it over many years of doing this.  I have been in this business more years than I care to admit (started at 18).  Just when you think you are an ""expert"" on a professional level, you learn that you actually have more to learn.  Only comes with time, and lots of it.  MT Schools are making big bucks.  That's why they are there.  After you pay them, that does not mean you are experienced. The promises made are a crime.  In my own personal career, I was barely experienced after 10-15 years. What they should be teaching you is how to evolve into an MT over many years and if you don't know, how to properly find it.  I think the MT schools are a good idea, but somewhere along the way the whole scope of it became very dishonest and misleading.  Sad.
