The wages in this industry are no longer viable. This career is DEAD.
This is what I was just told by my big boss on this call.
Pronounced DOA at 12:30 EST today.

Need Advice-Continue MT Or Quit
Jun 07, 2012

I've been an MT for over 20 years.  Have had my own clients in Rhematology for the past 12 years, been working at home for 15 years.  Clients have switched to point-and-click and VR except for one who is Lebanese and hates the point-and-click and can't do VR.  So, I started working for a great company doing ENT, but pay is 8 cents/line, quite the cut, but good dictators.  They might soon be going to VR.  I live in a small town and really don't want to work ...

Which ones do you recommend? Has anyone gotten a degree to enhance their knowledge, and if so, what degree?

Also, regarding the "time off without pay."  If I h ...
