Question about being an MT from someone in training. - Vicky

Hi there, 

I am approximately 2/3 the way through the MT course through CanScribe. Through them i've come to believe that it is a thriving industry with lots of work and opportunity. After reading through some of the posts here I am wondering if that really is the case.

I'm up in Canada so things might be a little different, but I'm really starting to wonder if this is going to bite me in the ass in the long run.  

So I guess my question would be is.... do you have any advice for someone about to try to enter the MT industry and what would that advice be.  I'm honestly starting to wonder if I would be better off working in a fastfood joint. 

Thanks

Vicky.
