>I have been working in a research lab for the past 5 years, and more than
>50% of my work now is histological related, for research, not for a
>conventional hospital setting.  My co-workers here think it's a good idea
>for me to get some histological certification, to make myself more
>marketable.  I have a BS in Biochemistry, and working on a MSPH in
>Toxicology. Right now, my fantasy to work for a good cause has ceased,
>because I am a single mom, and have to take care of my kid.  I don't mind
>study some more for the exam, but I want to know if it's worth it.

>Could anyone tell me a rough idea of the salary range of an HTL with and
