Maybe it's a Southern thing.  |
I think it is an agency thing. Maybe they get worried that the terps will start free lancing and then where will they be?
I suppose from an Agency perspective if a terp socializes at deaf events, why they are just giving there services away for free and we aren't getting our cut.
Or maybe I am just being cynical. I hope I am just being cynical.
