Is the course still around $3000? - Not recommending this field

Posted: Dec 4th, 2019 - 5:09 pm In Reply to: Aspiring MT Seeking Advice - Hix

Looking at the Career Step website, it looks as though the course will run you around $3000 but maybe there are discounts offered. That seems really expensive considering the field is dwindling and experienced MTs and editors are struggling to find work or keep the accounts we have. I think your money and time could be better spent learning another line of work.
