[QUOTE who="flint MT in Fenton, Michigan"]The shortage of MT, I have heard that for quite some time. In the meantime, 2 year degree nurses pay have bypass us starting 5 dollars more straight out of school with less education . And believe me, you can tell by the questions or demands they have. They have lower student loans to pay off and less knowlegde. The MT shortage is answered with more computers and automation and less MT's per shift. This is possible because we do not have direct patient contact. I would not recommend anybody to enter the field of MT unless you don't mind to make less money for the amount of science you need to know, long hours standing in noisy environment due to all of the equipment and get lower raises, otherwise I advise you to pick a profession that has patient contact and make more money with 2 year degrees. I myself like my profession but it is a slap in the face where we stand compared by other medical professions.[/QUOTE]
Sometimes I wondered why they even pay pharmacy more than they pay medical lab scientist. patients contact shouldn’t count towards pay. Medical scientist does more work.
