the school I graduated from that was not one of the "Big 3".  I didn't use bad language and I wasn't rude in the least, so there could be no other reason that my posts were pulled except that I mentioned my school.  And this happened 3 or 4 times, not just once.

I see now that my school actually has it's own board, which is good.

I have over 30 years experience and started in a hospital.

Good luck!

I'm an almost Newbie who has become very confused reading all the posts about good schools, bad schools, good companies, bad companies -whew - my head is turning.  This is something I have wanted for a long time.  I've gotten taken by 2 bad schools and I'm just about to finish my third attempt and this time I'm determined to work.  My problem is I can't afford to quit my current job in insurance and maybe not make enough money as an MT.  I also don't know where to start to find a reputable company to even try to get MT work.  I got into the Trans-Scam deal about 4 years ago and that had just completely discouraged me.  I thought I would never be able to be an MT.  I just didn't have what it takes.  This time I'm determined and would certainly appreciate all the feedback you all have.  I read some posts from MT's making pretty good money - but does anyone ever reveal what those good companies are?

from their graduates who have found jobs.  You may want to do a quick search.

and I have to say that you are really misinformed about the MT world.  To any newbie reading, her opinions on where a person should get training - she is putting out information that is simply incorrect.

The capper for me today is reading the post above this, where she is giving out her opinion on who is who in the MT world and who owns what.  It's just wrong. 

NOW i have my email address in there if you want it, sheeeesh LOL

You should have a button where you compose your email to attach files. Click on that and it will take you to a window where you can browse files.  Click on that and select where your file is (desktop, folder, computer, etc.) then open the file you want to attach and your computer will do the rest, very easy once you do it once.  Your computer walks you through it most of the way.

I just learned how to do it myself, all by myself!;) 

Good luck, and if you need more help, just ask. :)

I googled it and got nothing.  It was a rather generic gmail address, which was another flag.  Well, I emailed them with a few questions about the training (whether it was paid, local and guaranteed employment) and guess I will see. 

Something more promising is available through the job office of the local tech school where I did a certificate - $10/hr (that is good here) for MT, working at home, and grads from the program I took (med coding - though it was not very throrough on the coding end of things) are allowed to apply.  Guess they aren't that picky?  But hey, if it is offered, I will take it!

I am putting in for that tonight via email and see if the job office will refer me to the employer. 

Thanks for your opinion.  If they email back I will let you know what they said. 

that I had to remove were made by experienced MTs and were very ugly in nature.  Nichole came here and asked for help and when she was ridiculed only then did she retaliate.  I posted a Sticky above about helping incoming new MTs and not treating them like they are trash.  I would ask all experienced MTs to please follow that advice or don't post at all.

Thank you,
