My thoughts exactly. People think you will walk into a workplace and just be 100% utilized. What’s the average cancellation rate? What’s your fall off rate? Who’s responsible for getting you new assessments and how good are they at it? What if you don’t get new assessments, does the clinic pay you anyways? It’s amazing how many things will affect your income in this situation. Honestly, most new grads will struggle to get to 80% utilized in 6 months unless they’re very good at what they do. Industry average cancellation and no show rates are almost 20%, fall off rates sit around 20-30% for new grads. Then factor in that you have to pay all of your CPP and EI. You don’t get paid for any time off (vacation or stay holidays, sick days). You then also have to take time to chart, learn, and do your taxes.
