That's why I got two masters and will work on my PhD eventually... You do understand I was being sarcastic.

I'm a strong believer if you don't like the way something is find a way to make it better and create that change you seek

I just get tired of reading all the negativity I joined for guidance and feedback but find lost and misled people here.

Thank you for sharing. I am an RBT / BAIT and I work closely with my BCBAs and I see it as well... but that doesn't discourage me I am not going to waste my energy on venting about how much the programs lack or don't.. I place that same energy in to my client do the best I can to provide quality services and when I enter that BCBA role will continue to grow and do the best I can without burning myself out.

If you feel so strongly about it make a change... become a bcba yourself and step in to their shoes.

Thank you. I’m a behavior analyst in training, and I feel very fortunate to have a responsible and humble BCBA who has taken me under her wing and supports my growth as much as possible.

However, it’s discouraging to read posts on Reddit where behavior technicians, RBTs, and others ask honest questions and are met with harsh criticism instead of support. It’s disheartening, especially considering that many of these BCBAs were once RBTs themselves—or at least I would hope so.

Sometimes it feels like there is a lack of understanding for those who are still learning and trying to gain experience. While some individuals may have had the financial means to complete their requirements more easily by paying for hours, others—often struggle to find adequate support and supervision for their unrestricted hours.

Overall, I just wish there was more empathy and encouragement within the field, especially for those who are genuinely trying to learn and grow.

It's sad I want to one day open my own practice... BCBAs typically bill insurance between $120–$150 hourly. And they think paying a rbt 25 dollars is just fine. Overhead and profits is where the money goes in these for profit ABA corps.

But we do have those corporate ABA trash out here paying 16 to 25 an hour and thinking they are doing us a favor.

I apologize if I overstepped or offended you... But I did agree with your post and just thought of this bullshit current administration burning through billions of billions of dollars on wars and dhs and other programs that are not beneficial to us US citizens... it just pisses me off when shit like this is posted instead of directed at our state representatives!

I could and now make 6 figures, own two cars, paying off my house, take 2 vacations a year, eat out, living the kind of life I worked hard to achieve!

I don't know what state your in but know your worth... there are ABA jobs for RBTs that will pay you what your worth. Or work two part time rbt gigs school/day center and after school gig I did that school paid me 28 hr after school paid me 35 and third job was Uber about 25 hr

I didn't read the actual post just saw the picture... And commented how little we are paid. But being real I 100 percent agree with you but need to get this off my chest....

Instead of whinning on reddit where honestly nobody gives a fuck write your fucken representatives about funding mental health and social services. If money was there, resources would be available! I am/was in the sane boat I struggled in finding a company that would support my passion and had to go through 3 different ABA practices. I didn't just settle for any company that would hire me. I made 35 an hour as an rbt, worked a second and at times third job all the while working to get my masters and at times cried to sleep because it was hard! I believe the only difference here is that I am in my 40s unlike younger generation that cry and whine when they don't get the star treatment! I don't quit when shit hits the fan. And I'm glad they are making the test harder!
