[QUOTE who="muzick in Gainesville, Florida"]If you compare Med techs to other lab staff ie biologists/chemists/whateverists doing research for universities mainly we're making decent money. Comparing tech to nurses just isn't right; they're totally different jobs that require a different skill set. Nursing is less of the education we have and more integrity (not saying they all do but they should) and responsibility for the patient directly. My mom has been a nurse for 20 years, I'd NEVER EVER want to do it. She knows things I would never have learned and I know things she would never have learned if we didn't talk. The schooling and education we do isn't THAT difficult that we all need a pat on the back every time we verify a hemogram, really now come on. If you wanted notoriety with your job then you should have picked something different. Some of us actually like being behind the scenes and unrecognized. I get to help people without them knowing and acting like I'm some hero when it's really just my boring job. Also you might consider the job doesn't 'pay well' in certain metro areas because those areas have inflated rents and costs of living completely unassociated with our field and it is a systemic problem within the entire region? Complaining about not making enough to live in NYC is ridiculous, the housing there is absurd, no one is getting wage increases to match the rising costs and it has nothing to do with being a tech. Wage increases have stagnated over many industries and is a problem for a lot of people.[/QUOTE] Interesting assessment. Yes many parts of the midwest are probably the best when you factor in pay to cost of living but living. NYC is hard but the lifestyle is different. No car, renting etc. Also if you lose your job in a city its less problematic.
