Sally,
I didn't get a chance to answer yesterday - I went to a high school
and spoke about my favorite topic - histotechnology!
Anyway, I started out in microbiology and then worked in a doctor's
office lab doing routine chemistry and hematology and when we moved to
a small town in Iowa the only position in the lab that became
available was in histology. I was playing bridge with the histotech
and he mentioned the opening so I went in and interviewed, got the job
and never have looked back. So I sort of fell into this profession as
did many others.

Thanks to everyone that sent their Story of How I Ended Up Doing This
Histology Thing! I have gotten 50 or more replies! The one thing
that
strikes me is how many of us went into this profession without a clue!
With all the opportunities to recruit future histologists, this
Histology Day idea is a good start. On the original subject, I'm
planning to make one document out of all the replies and - WITH
PERMISSION - attach your name to the answers. If you do NOT want your
submission listed because you want to remain anonymous, you must let
me
know ASAP. Send to: nmhi...@comcast.net. Thanks for your stories!
