the link is included and can be viewed at MTIA's web site.  EVERYONE should read this....it affects our future.  I do not doubt the hundreds of resumes MTSOs receive today in response to job postings will dwindle to a handful.  The entire credentialing process is geared to one way only, and that is lining the pockets of those who have led the way to destroy a once honorable profession.  Why would anyone want to go through the process to earn a substandard living today, certification not withstanding?  Does anyone think the MTSOs are going to pay a much higher premium for a credentialed MT?  Come on...get real.  If they are outsourcing today to make more money, does anyone really think they will bring those jobs back and pay EACH AND EVERY credentialed MT a livable wage, money out of their pockets?  www.mtia.com...if the link does not work.
