ALTInsider Podcast - Is being an ALT a good job?

James does not have a guest on his ALT Insider podcast, so he goes to the mailbag. No Punches pulled here as the listener asks “How can you with good conscience recommend that people become at ALT, especially using a dispatch company”?

As James has been through those stages of loving and hating the profession, he doesn’t sugar-coat his answers at all. Good advice contained in this episode.

Enjoy the show!
