I believe Med techs will become more , just to cut back on pay for Nurses. Just as in the hospitals they don’t want LPN’s (their work is CNA level unless needed ) the hospitals only want RN’s or NP’s So with the LPN’s in play the CNA’s get cut because what are they really needed for when the LPN Will do their skilled level work It’s a mean chain of command , I think Trade school is the real way to go this day and age
