HELP! Histotechnologist vs. Pathology Assistant vs. Radiologic Technology?
TL;DR: Can anyone in any of these positions please provide some insight on these different jobs, how much you are paid and state you live (if you are comfortable sharing) and how you think the general outlook of the industry is (are people being laid off, are you usually short staffed, etc), what the day to day is like, what your schooling/certification was like...
Long version: I was recently (February) laid off from my job in Clinical Research in the Seattle area. I have desperately been applying to jobs since I was laid off with no luck. I have tried lots of tips and tricks to try and get a job in the industry, to no avail. The more I thought about it the more I realized I don't want to live my life dependent on grant funded work especially when the funding has all but dried up with no hope of that changing in the future. The best option at this point is to change careers to a field where the service will always be needed.
My options are currently histotechnology, pathology assistant, or radiologic technology. I have a BS in Biology so doing masters level work is possible, as well as completing a 2 year AAS program. These all have varied costs/time commitments, at this point I just really need some insight from those working in these positions. I want to get the best value for my money+time and I don't want to end up in this situation again. Any experience/advice/knowledge related to these positions would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Note I was also interested in cytotechnology but there is not an accredited program in my state and I am not able to move at this time.
