In Reply to: Why should I go back to making 9 cpl when I make 11 cpl now?? I made 8 cpl over 12 years ago. - really

ALL of us were making more 10 years ago than we are now.

The industry has changed.

Stop whining about 9 cpl. If you don't want it, don't take it. One of the folks that had to settle for 6 or 7 cpl or some of the other insulting rates MTSO are offering these days would LOVE to get that 9 cpl.

So, by all means, hold out for 11 cpl.

And sign up for food stamps while you wait for your dream to come true.

Or, better yet, do what so many of the rest of us have done - go back to school to learn a new trade or beat the pavement until you find your OWN account. But then be prepared to REALLY know what hard work is.
