That post was even worse than the last! I know that you speak the truth but man for those of us just starting out?? Help!!! I feel like I have lost all hope! I am still looking for a job but considering giving being and MT and working in the local grocery store, maybe they will give me a better outlook on life and work in general!! There has got to be some happy MTs out there making some money or at least loving what they do! Is it all politics? Is it really as bad as you are making it sound? I wish that I would've known this earlier. I decided to do this late in my life, I am 43 and I don't want to start all over again......
