Re: Seriously? This is an insult to our profession

That is so sad. And I bet a number of them have an advanced degree. $39K per

year?

My original email was referencing a company offering a $30 fee TOTAL not per

hour to do the work which essentially looks like it would be hours of work - IF

someone were to do a good job. I was also looking at it from the self employed

perspective.

I guess one of my points was that there are those out there offering such an

absurdly low fee to a professional such as an RD. But looking at their

perspective....I suppose $30 might seem like a lot to someone making $10 or $15

per hour. But then if someone does accept the work - for the experience - yes,

great experience for him/her but it only KEEPS our profession at the low end of

the salary spectrum.

Anyway...yes we all start somewhere. And I need to add that clinical IS

different in which it's very difficult to compare to the self employed. As an

employee you have benefits, health care, paid office space - you don't have to

buy all of your own office equipment, supplies, computer, printer...etc etc. No

overhead. Big difference.

I'm really sorry to say this, but working over 20 yrs somewhere and making

less than $60K WITH the education we have? If you LOVE what you do then GREAT!

Then it's likely worth it. But I also don't think it helps us overall in the

long run.
