@@derekathetourist would you recommend the evening shift like 3-11:30 for someone who isn’t a morning person and does it consume your entire life?

MLT/MLS SUCKS WORSE JOB EVER. Very underpaid and under appreciated. Don’t ever go into this field

[@BlackGirlLovesAnime6]

Underpaid how? The salaries I see in my state are pretty good and many are high. In Maryland.

[@Blair85]

How much is it up that way? Its about 58,000 where im located. Ill take it. I need some damn stability. Hopefully ill start Fall of this year​@BlackGirlLovesAnime6

@@Blair85 way more than 58k. Now granted I am in school so these are just the ones I see on indeed or whatever and not what I personally am getting but there are many that pay from 60-80k and even 90-100k no huge amount of experience needed if you don’t have it yet. There are some at some locations that pay 40k-60k but I would just avoid them. With all the work ik this job requires I wouldn’t even be in school for it if the pay was that low. I can get that with my bachelors in general biology for all that. When I was working as a cell therapy specialist last year I made 72k and the women I worked with had their MT certs because the job is similar. And don’t get me started on the rates for travel pay.

@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 okay sounds good. Thanks for the information.

[@michaelvillarreal5582]

In AZ it’s about 70k but that ain’t nothing compared to the work flow and work. Also the job is very undervalued. I would rather chose RT or something else.
