im a PTS and i love it. It pays ALOT more, and theres room to move up. They give you more money to go to school (which is great), and its really not as bad as everyone says. But i guess it all depends on where you work. I work in the primary, and love it. my people are great, they work for me, no matter what happens. But like the people on here say, you are kinda a slave to upper managment, unless your solid like me, then they never say anything.
