In Reply to: Normal pay for QA? - About 50% to 75% of MT (NM)

If you were to make 50-75% less than what MTs make, you'd make 50-75% below minimum wage, because that's what most MTs nowadays are able to eke out.  You report having to correct crappy work that you have to do over again?  Are we to believe this is the work turned out by the average MT?  I won't even go into leaving 50 blanks... give us a break, please. It would be a lot more fair and correct to put the blame where it is due...Poop in, poop out.  Blame the dictators!  Easier to blame the MTs, right?
