I have a friend I just connected with who lives across the country. She lived next door to me. We grew up together, played together, and went to school together. Went to her wedding and then she moved and I lost touch. Anyway (sorry to get side tracked, that has nothing to do with my post). Anyway…when I told her what I do (MT), she told me her daughter took 3 classes but couldn’t afford to finish the training, and asked me my opinions of the MT field and would it be a good field enough for her to finish training or try to find a job, etc. What I’d like to know is some of your opinions on what you would tell her. I, myself have a job I love, great supervisor, easy docs, etc, and am pretty stable, but it would not be fair of me to give her opinions based on just my experiences. I can tell her the basics like what it takes (sitting in one place for long periods of time, tuning everything around you out so you can concentrate on your work, have good research skills, etc,), but I would like to know what other people around the country think and experiences you have had and what you see in your future and what part of the country you are in because I think it differs around the country.
All opinions are very welcome. - Thank you.
