That is only going to supply the industry with cheaper labor! If the demand is that high for MTs then it would seem we would be paid more since there do not seem to be enough of us, right? Then here comes AAMT to the rescue with the latest of their nutty ideas - training people to do our jobs for even less! Seems to me that would flood the labor pool with new MTs (I use the term loosely here) and drive down our wages.
I am so glad I gave up my membership and CMT years ago when I saw the direction they were going. I still have friends who are AAMT members who, IMHO, appear to be brainwashed. One person told me recently that the USA does not have enough people interested in becoming an MT and that is why AAMT is recruiting overseas and it will not impact our jobs at all. Argh!
