Anthony,

Don't know where you live in Cali or where you work.  But if you are an
HTL and have any decent skill/experience, I would think you are being
totally ripped off.  The cost of living in most parts of Cali alone
makes me wonder about this salary.  And when you ask about being
exempt...I'm assuming you are exempt?  If this is the case again a total
rip off.  I think you need to look for work elsewhere and check into
wages.  New students that are registry eligible start out much higher
than that to my knowledge.

Hello fellow Histotechs, I have recently become certified as an HTL and
was wondering if anyone out there is an 'exempt' employee? I live in
California and feel that I am being taken advantage of.  I make 16.15$
per hour and frequently work 50 hour weeks. Am I off base? should I just
be grateful that I have a job, as my employer so frequently reminds me?
Thank you Histonet! 
you have been an invaluable resource in my career and assisting me in
passing the HTL!
