Determination + a bad progam = failure on the job

In Reply to: The operative word being SOME...but not very many - that I have seen.

I see that every day. Determination doesn't do it if what the school teaches isn't marketable. People can say that all day every day, but it doesn't make it true. It does not just matter how hard you work if the work you are doing and what you are learning is incorrect in the first place.

Hard work and determination will
to find you a job or help you every minute. No one is promised anything in life. In my day of beginning MT'ing, there were no computers, and there were no boards. So before jumping to conclusions and screaming about India, you need to look at yourself and what tools you have used to become an MT. No one is handed anything in life no matter what profession you are in, but I personally like hearing your input and wish you the best of luck!
