Bruce,


     You need a recent college grad with the requisite hours of science
courses.  If a PA would be overkill, I suspect you need someone to just
describe your small bx's and dump them in a cassette.
     In the facilities where I have worked where they have such a position,
the "grossing tech" with a B.S. makes much less than a HT (ASCP) with a
high school diploma.  It is a position of great responsibility, with low
pay.  I would start in the neighborhood of $10- $12. an hour, but I have no
idea what that equates to in California money.  About 40-50% what you pay a
starting Histotech.
     By the way, I would suggest you hire someone with no experience
and train them yourselves.  No experience equals no bad habits.  Finding a
person with the right attitude, who understands that the Histology
lab literally deals with matters of life and death, is the hard
part.  Technique can be taught.

                                                        Sincerely,

                                                             Jay A.
