Hi. I'm wondering for those of you who either attend/attended M-Tec or Andrews, about how many hours per week do you spend on the classes (total, including all studying)? M-Tec's website says 25-30 hours. Do you find this to be accurate? I did not see an answer on the Andrews website. I want to be sure before I commit that I have the necessary time to spend on the course. While I'm willing to put 30 hours in, I do not want to find out that in re ...

How many of you are ICs who are required to work set hours? How many have to use an electronic time cards online to record every break?

I am looking for work and was just wondering about how receiving your work and returning it usually works. When I took the MT course, I was under the impression that I would receive a batch of work and then have 12-24 hours to return it, making my work schedule flexible so I could work around my children's school and summer schedules. I assumed that when they're at school I could do my work then, and in the summer when they're home during the day, I could do my work in ...

And yet, HERE I SIT . . . just like I did on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday . . . sat down to work my scheduled hours and . . . I have NO WORK! Talk about one-sided! &n ...

I've just started working as an independent contractor and I was wondering if an IC can work more than 40 hrs. a week, since not working as an employee. This is all new to me. I've always worked as an employee before. I just couldn't handle the VR anymore. It's a joke and decided it was time to "just say no!" The big boys came up with it and they can deal with it. Not going to ruin my health (body and mind) anymore for minimum wage! That being said, I'm very willin ...
