They are quite the masters of deception.

I thought I was the only one having this problem.

    36+ years. I wish I had finished my Masters. sm
    The field is changing. I would never recommend it.  I do not see a bright future. 
    (giggling). do you even KNOW how many masters degrees are
    There are people with huge degrees, disillusiond with their field, their pay, the politics. And they are sitting on their duffs doing medical transcription because the pay is better, the work conditions are better, the people are better. There were some posts in the past month about this very subject. There are a LOT of overeducated people out there, who choose to transcribe.
    good post but MTs there do not have 2 Masters

    But what you said about cashiers is pretty right on but incomplete.  Where I live, cashiers are slowly but surely being replaced with YOU, yourself, scanning your stuff at the store(s).  Home Depot has been doing this here for 2 years or more and I read that MANY supermarkets are going this route.  Soon there will be PRETTY MUCH ZERO CASHIERS in this country.


    But I don't agree with you on the fact that the USA or every MD/facility in the USA is going to want to offshore.  As I know it, plenty of US mds/facilities are PULLING THEIR STUFF back into this country.


    Do not give up hope - I do not believe all of it will end up in foreign countries.........not 10 years down the road - by then, I do believe people are going to OPEN UP THEIR EYES WIDER and pull it ALL back here.  *grin*


    But then, I'm an optimist - always was.....not delusional...just optimistic....glass=half full, never half empty.



     


    My own cousin, an op room RN with a Masters degree tried
    and failed at MT. She asked me for advice before starting, but didn't take me seriously when I told her that there was more to it than she thought. But she tried and tested, and just couldn't get hired. Her mother, who is my mother's sister-in-law, was talking to my mom one day, and she said, "Geez, if your daughter can do it, surely mine can! She's a nurse!"

    Well, hers couldn't.

    Nice, Aunt, huh?
    Working on my Masters in Counseling Psych. I should be done in Summer 2007.
