doing the job only for the love of it. I've been doing this since 1972. When I got divorced in 1994, my ex told me the field would be dead in 10 years. In a sense, he was right, but at 67 I'm still here. I've gone from 70K/year to 11.50/hr, but I'll do it until they fire me.

Anyone who is not getting SS should get out of the MT world ASAP. It is not for people who need an income.
