My dad died of cardiomyopathy, but at least he was older-73. I have to have ECHOs every 5 years since I'm at risk for it.

Sending out prayers that every New MT finds a nice job!
   
Transcribing a family member's report
and finding out something no one in the family knows.

may even be able to borrow one temporarily from work. thanks so much Tom! :)
My husband
He is 33 years old. About 2 years ago, he was welding on some painted dump bodies, for dump trucks. He set up chemical pneumonia because of the fumes. The doctors treated him, but it didn't go away for about a month. By then, it had gotten out and attacked his heart. We didn't know that it had happened until about 6 months later, when he had a heart attack. It was then that we found out that he has cardiomiopathy {spelling} and conjestive heart failure. The doctor told him that without a heart transplant, he would die in about 8 years. He refuses the transplant, so I watch him go down more and more every day. So, when I found out I had this job, needless to say, it took some of the pressure off of me.

How can I prove to my husband that this is the right career change??
But I bet your husband did not go to the job interview and say...sm
how am I supposed to get a job if no one will give me the experience? My friend is an MTSO and she hears everything from, my husband is unemployed and I need this job to I just had twins and I need this job to I have $2000 in MT school loans and I need this job, etc., etc. The point is that has nothing to do with your qualifications for the position. Same thing with how am I supposed to get a job if no one will give me experience. What does that have to do with your qualifications? It's like asking for a raise because you are behind on your bills. You have to sell yourself and show the company how they will benefit from hiring YOU, not how you will benefit from working for THEM.
So sorry to hear about your husband.
Have you tried your local hospitals or do you need to work from home? That would be one of my suggestions since it sounds like you are not a newbie. That is how I got my job. I had gotten several calls from potential employers here, but only one solid offer. Unfortunately, it came after I started the job I have now.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
