We are all wondering why you would suggest this field to anyone - Shocked

Posted: Mar 2nd, 2018 - 5:35 pm In Reply to: Why would you willingly suggest this field - to anyone?

especially your daughter.

It's one of the worst jobs right now - very, very low pay, strict schedules (many places actually monitor when your hands are on the keyboard), unrealistic demands, nights, weekends and holidays mandatory, and extremely high stress.

And newbies are competing with MTs with 20+ years of experience looking desperately for jobs since many are juggling 2-3 just to make ends meet.
