[QUOTE="JohnWilson, post: 121829, member: 213"] Thats a rather large increase for a piece of paper Ken, and something that I am sure could come back to bite him in the ass. Think if he had a ceramist making $25 and hour and now he has to give him 50% raise? Not many labs in this world could ever afford to do that from a business stand point. I have had CDT's that worked for me, I have had some that thought they were worth more than they were because of it. I have techs that are just amazing and are worth every penny I throw at them. Its a scale that I just do not believe in. The problem is ITS THE ONLY SCALE recognized. I prefer to have techs impress me with what their hands can do and what their integrity shows each day they are on time and work a full shift and put their heart into their craft. This is the scale I measure on. I totally understand the personal goal of achieving a CDT, hell I took the Written comprehensive just for fun and scored 97%. I am certain I could pass any practical exam they have if I so choose. Sadly in this world TODAY its not going to amount to any additional income or respect. If I am not respected by my peers by now a piece of paper is not changing that. Now with this being said I still encourage techs to participate in the system, I just do not give them any false hope that its going to do anything but fuel the passion many of us have for this industry. Look at it this way, why are we participating on this site, why do we debate such things, why do we continue day after day hash out whats going on in the industry the trends the techniques the successes the failures. Its because we are passionate, we have drive, we have a vision for tomorrow even in this uncertain times we practice in. I can honestly say that many of the techs on this site that are not credentialed are more of a CDT than many of the CDTs that work 9 to 5. Its the hours and hours we spend a year online sharing info and bettering our understanding of this craft that has been so good to all of us. Just my thoughts on a Saturday evening while I enjoy a fine single malt and listen to the music of my mills via wifi :) [/QUOTE]
