How about Histology Tech or Medical Technologist?

We went on a field trip to a lab last week, Quest Diagnostics and it looked pretty interesting. Both fields are supposed to be in demand fields. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know they've said the same thing about nursing, but the people in charge of the lab that gave us the tour said they are severely under staffed because not many people go into these fields. They claimed they had openings that they've been advertising for medical technologist for several months now that they have yet to fill. They were actually encouraging us to switch majors, LOL!

The good thing they said is that you can start there as tech help, work 2nd or 3rd shift and go to school in the day and Quest will offer tuition reimbursement.

The salary for medical technologist is pretty good, made me almost want to switch majors. LOL!
