Hi.
I've looked through the archives of this group to little avail. If i missed an answer to my questions that was previously posted to this list, my apologies.

I'm looking to get into the histotech field, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I'm changing careers after 20 years as a journalist. I have an associates and a bachelor's degree, neither of which are in anything remotely science-y: Liberal Arts and Journalism, respectively.

I live in New Jersey, where there does not appear to be any histology training programs, yet most of the jobs I see posted throughout the state want a certification.

I have a friend in Seattle who fell into histology after journalism, but he admits he got lucky and still does not have a certification. He gets paid slightly less, he says, but not by much. It sounds like a good career choice for me, but I'm not sure how to get it started.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Keith.
