It is unfortunate that so many people visit the board after they finish school, instead of before they sign up for a school. The reason I say that is that there are at least three excellent on-line schools that experienced MTs can recommend because their graduates are in high demand. Students from the school you attended, and most other schools, have a much harder time landing their first job because few companies are able to spend a lot of time on refining a new graduate's skills. I have first-hand experience. I'm training a newbie my boss hired. She herself is good MT material in many ways, but her school didn't even go far enough that she knows when to ask questions. On a brain MRI, she recently typed ponds when the dictator said pons. I don't have time to check every report she does, so the MDs have to proof her reports very carefully. He was astonished at that error, being that it's just anatomy.
