Cheap and incompetent.

In Reply to: That's not true at all. Statistics prove that Americans - SOL - scoffing out loud
I spoke with an Indian MT recently. This person works six days a week and eight hours a day and makes $40/month Indian money, which is about $500/month American money. I think that says it all! Oh, and this person asks questions that a student might ask and is an editor. Makes me feel very safe in my job actually. American MTs are some of the hardest working people I know. We are not lazy. We are fed up with getting paid beans while the MTSOs suck the life out of us!

Cheap MT courses
A course from M-Tech or Andrews may or may not get you a job right after completion, but that's not the only way to get into the field. I took the good advice of some very helpful MTs from this board and shopped around my area for a job. With my meager PCDI education that I studied over about a year and spent $795 for, I was able to get a position at my local hospital ($15/hour!!). I will be in-house for a while, and then I will have the option of working from home. You do what will work best for you, but I didn't have an extra three grand lying around to train for a job when I could pay out less money and then get paid to better my skills.
If you choose your school solely because it is cheap
you will get a cheap education and pay for it over and over and over again in lost income. Many people who have chosen the crappy schools end up having to be retrained by one of the good schools before anyone will hire them. Just something to think about. It has ever been true that you get what you pay for. And don't let anyone snow you with that old lie "You get out of it what you put into it. Just work really hard and you'll get a good education." Not true with education. You can only get out of your training what is there to be gotten. If it is deficient, it doesn't matter how hard you work, your training will still be deficient. Get a part-time job to save money for one of the good schools, hold a yard sale, wait a few months while you save money, whatever, just don't waste your money and time on an inferior education.
as in your insinuation that I am incompetent.

So all 150 Heartland MT's were incompetent?
I think you jest.
will not - not if you're competent. If you're incompetent they will fire you anyway
