Good Bye MT - Leaving MTing Posted: Nov 2nd, 2009 - 9:26 pm
I so look forward to these last 5 years going by fast: Going back to college to get a degree and walking away from MT never looking back. If it wasnt for paying for my schooling, I'd be out of this by now. If things get too bad I'd consider cutting lunch meat, stocking shelves at the neighborhood grocery store, whatever. The only up side to my 10+ years of doing MT work has been able to stay home for my kids and making pocket change. My experience in this industry has been No respect, No raises, No atta boys (we ALL need encouragement from time to time), just picking, criticism, pay cuts and more work for less money. Makes one callus to this stinking industry. I bet it once was a good one. Now I believe MTs are looked at as mere "typists". Soooo look forward to getting out.
Advice to newbies looking into getting in this profession: Run. Find another profession. Better yet, go back to college while you're still young (you won't regret that one).
Sorry, I just have to vent my frustrations. I can't leave notes to QA, so I just have to write my negativity somewhere.
