Depending on where you want to work, to say you would likely not get hired without an ASCP certification is just not true. If you look at most CRO's, reference labs, pharmaceutical, biotechs, start ups and even the occasional hospital you will find thousands of folks who are working as high level managers without an ASCP certification. Why are we back on this topic again? Lee Luna who I knew personally as many of you did most of his work well before he ever sat for the HT, and he was the top histologist at AFIP, not to mention a pioneer in the field. I just think we Americans should be given more credit that we would and do in fact hire experienced people and hold experience in higher regard than the certification. Deep down we all know that is true.
