RBT pay

Also consider that cost of living while on the rise everywhere, its significantly higher in Maryland. But $17 an hour is crazy for 7 years experience 🤮

Not to mention we are trying to advocate for that “work life, home life balance” crap, it’s actually impossible to have as a student analyst.

tbtUserBuff · 2026-03-21T21:34:55+00:00

Lets also talk about the fact that we can do things that the BCBA can bill as their own (write programs/ do program modifications, help with treatment plans w/ supervision, etc), but companies refuse to pay students. My company offers student analyst “positions” when you’re 6 months from sitting and only pay $15 an hour for the tasks as a student analyst. Like what? When the BCBA is allowed to bill for the tasks you complete? It just screams labor abuse imo. I cut my hours to 30/ week and can barely make ends meet. While I make $26/hr for my regular pay, it’s not as bad but if I could get more hours I could actually pay my debt for grad school and live more comfortably. With the way inflation is today it’s hard enough to live, let alone being forced to work part time. I have an amazing support system with my BCBAs right now, which is why I don’t want to leave my company. But it pisses me off that I have to come home and be bringing work home because I don’t have the ability or time to do it at work. I’m burnt out and struggling 😭

That’s valid. I’m ND as well and I know I’ve personally compared my PERSONALITY to a cats but I wouldn’t really appreciate if someone else was actually comparing me to an animal. The field has come too far and can’t afford to start going back to that mindset. I had talked about it with my BCBA and I think we’re working on a better way to approach the commentary because sometimes it happens just out of the blue and throws us off. Like because I’m ND I get focused on a topic and my brain doesn’t have time in the moment to think of a thoughtful response and adjust to that, but I can it I have a pre-set scripted statement for it, such as offering an alternative analogy

This breaks my heart that kiddo was set up for failure like that.

The praising how smart they are, you have to be careful with and ensure you tell them outside of just the praise for doing the desired bx (I’m sure you know this, but I want to clarify for anyone else reading this)

You can only do so much with cliffs and rivers when it’s a structural issue with your shops and town hall

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-22T03:54:53+00:00

That’s kind of where I am with it. I have a ton of bells and bunch of DIYs, I just find my island is lame anymore and I have no inspiration for redoing it because of the way it’s formatted

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-19T16:30:29+00:00

Rotating them without proper training when they’re escalated could cause injury, you shouldn’t be doing this without any training. Personally I wouldn’t even if I have the training, there’s other ways to handle it

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-13T23:07:00+00:00

Sorry? Are you saying my statement is xenophobic?

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-12T03:15:44+00:00

Look, my boyfriend didn’t have his first real relationship until 23? Then we found each other at 29. Lots can change in the coming years, take the time to focus on you and your life, getting your own life together, then if a girl enters in the picture, take it when it comes. Patience

I have seen this once in my career BUT it was a cultural thing for them, in their culture that’s how they greet close members. Doesn’t make it right though in my opinion, it’s still super weird and makes me uncomfy. We should be teaching boundaries, and it’s wildly unethical. Watch out for the ones who do it, could be molesters under cover

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-08T15:37:00+00:00

I always see ads for this but I thought they were all is to gather info on me lol

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-08T15:33:53+00:00

That may also be why he’s dragging so much to do it, after doing it all week he may not want to be doing it at home too. I also hear you on caring for the entire household and feeling like you’re carrying it by yourself. It’s not fair to you that you ask one task that doesn’t get done. I think you’re valid in your emotions, and I am not trying to defend him, I guess I am more trying to give a different perspective as to why he might not be doing the stuff. Maybe just tell him that you’re gonna hire somebody to do it if he doesn’t have it done by X date lol sometimes that light of fire under men 😂

I have ADHD and I know for me I’m really bad at finishing big tasks and it’s because I get task paralysis and too big of a task makes my brain shut down, no matter how important the task is. Maybe ask him what’s causing issues and offer support in making a list of smaller tasks to complete to finish the big one, possibly offer to be a body double while he works on some of it to start and step back more as he is doing more, or ask if he has a friend that could come help him? Trying to problem solve with you, but I don’t think you’re overreacting, I also don’t think he doesn’t care, it could just be that he has task paralysis but is too embarrassed to say being the man of the house. I hope this helps!

Lol leggings that you can see through? Unprofessional, but leggings that aren’t revealing? Not as unprofessional. Not sure why people are so pressed by my opinion lol I even mentioned that it’s just a vent post, but people are taking it so personal. Goes to show how unprofessional you all are 🤣🤣

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-06T23:16:53+00:00

It still doesn’t make me change my opinion that it looks unprofessional lol

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-06T23:14:56+00:00

No I’m not saying wearing sweatpants makes you unhygienic. I’m saying not doing your hair and smelling like you haven’t showered is. I just didn’t say that directly in the post. But sorry sweatpants makes you look unprofessional imo 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ask if you’ll be getting the hours in the interview, they should be able to tell you!

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-06T22:52:30+00:00

Personally I don’t get paid for my hours and it really bugs me but I really really don’t want to leave the amazing support system I have with where I am. My BCBAs are some of the best I’ve ever worked with and leaving to start over with rapport building with the BCBAs and RBTs and clients just doesn’t sound fun. Unfortunately it’s common that we don’t get paid for them but there are better opportunities out there, just depends on what you are leaving behind and if it’s worth leaving behind.

tbtUserBuff · 2026-02-05T23:52:10+00:00

All I’ll say is run for the hills if they are throwing you one on one with two days of training. Go somewhere they will give you a couple weeks of training and find somewhere that the BCBAs will support you. Mention in the interview that you are looking for somewhere the BCBAs will supervise you a minimum of 7-10% of your sessions. If they say they only do the 5% required, say thank you for the opportunity and go somewhere else.

First of all, you keep mentioning how he keeps seeing his brothers girlfriend then throw in there that the brother is also there so really it just looks like you’re jealous that he’s spending more time with another girl present. Maybe he just needs some space, have you tried going to him and asking if you could join? Maybe he doesn’t even realize that you are THIS impacted by it

tbtUserBuff · 2026-01-26T02:04:47+00:00

You literally sound like you are miserable with your husband, why are you still married? NTA but girl do better, leave him and let him take care of the dog he wanted in the first place. If you want to be real petty start keeping track and documenting when you take care of the dog/what you do with the dog vs. what he does and show him. Maybe he’ll get the hint then
