I went to a local junior college to try to set up a histology program. I 
offered my services as an instructor and our lab as a teaching facility. 
This junior college had thought about doing this in the past but never did. 
I was told that they didn't want to flood the local market with histotechs. 
Imagine that!! I tried to make my case to no avail. I have been (and still 
am) looking for a histotech for the past 5 months with no luck.
