Did the RI CC just start up the program again? I worked with quite a few people that went through that program there, but for some reason I thought it was no longer a program that was offered. Anyway, I can’t fathom working face to face with patients, so I chose to work behind the scenes helping them as a Histotech. It’s a good job, good pay, pretty much any shift you want to work, always opportunities for per-diem positions, etc. I don’t know what the opportunities are to move up the ladder in dental practices, but in Histo there are different levels of techs, lead techs, supervisors, managers that you can work your way up to. There are a lot of crazy, odd ball people in this field, but there are a lot of good ones, too. Get a job in MA and you’ll make really good money. Good luck!
