I would say that

if MT's still have employable skills within 5 years I will personally be surprised.  I don't think most people realize that the reason there is a shortage of work is that as soon as the big companies get a new account, they immediately start transitioninig to VR.  I wouldn't count on having work from the small MTSOs either as they will lose out to the electronic medical record.  This has already been implemented in my physician's (solo practice) office and it didn't even require the service of an MT. 

Likely MTs will be welcome in the hospital and physician's office clerical positions although they will not pay anywhere close to what you've been used to.  So much for the "profession."
