[Histonet] Are Histotechs considered "exempt" employees?

[sgoebel <@t> xbiotech.com]

   So, I had the same problem a few years ago.  They are totall   advantage  of  you.  I live in Austin where I can't imagine tha   cost  of living is more than CA.  The average here is between 20    25 an hour, sometimes  higher if you can get a MOHS job at a priva   derm  clininc.   Start looking, usually in my experience histo. jobs    are  everywhere,  but  sometimes  you just have to call around.  Also,
   usu   wise)  about  HT   histology department.  
   Happy hunting!!

   I am sooooo with you on this one.   HT's need to start deman   higher wages everywhere.  We are a rare breed with special talents.
   Without  a  good  tech you do not get good slides!!  We are not a dime
   a<   I  know  just  a  hour north of where I am the wages can be $10-$15.00
   less.
   Not much difference in living expenses either.

   Anthony,
   You live in CA, work 50 hour weeks and you are a HTL with an
   unprecedented  and  valuable  resource  at your disposal, Histonet and
   you    know  how  to  use  it.  For  this  you  get  paid $16.15/hour by what
   appears    to  be  an  employer who isn't grateful to have you. I'd start looking
   <   Just my humble opinion.
