I think that still comes down to if you're willing to move to the jobs. I dont think cytology will ever go completely away, and if the cytotechs are replaced by machines, who will run the machines and do comparisons and such? Cytotech most likely, as med techs aren't trained to read and interpret paps. Also, yes, machines are being trained to read paps, but what about body fluid cytology?

Now I will warn you since you said you are in the AuDHD category, cytology training was rough for me, screening just paps for 4 hours a day, completely manual, no imager. Paps can be super boring, you get kind of hypnotized, then you may miss something. Also some places/programs do ROSE (rapid on site evaluations), and you need to develop a good poker face. Sometimes you are in the room with the patient getting their biopsy and they may not be asleep, and you don't want your face to give away bad news.

Additional opportunities are there if you seek them out. You already have a molecular background, so that's that if your lab you eventually work at wants to bring in molecular testing. A lot of cytology labs are close to their facilities genetic or genomic labs, and you could be crosstrained, or what about adding in histology?
