Happy and Healthy Cytologists Please Gather Here!
Hello cytology community,
I recently got into the Thomas Jefferson Masters of Cytology Program. While I am very excited to be a cytologist (I have spent 3 years doing cell culture as a research tech so this feels like a natural choice), I am very nervous because apparently cytology is a dying field?? I dont want to spend time and money on a degree and then struggle to find a job, and I also do not want to struggle financially after a masters degree.
I am looking for any honest insight current cytologists can give me! I want to know
do you think the field is "dying", and if yes, how so?
Is a Masters degree in this field worth it?
Do you feel like you make enough money for a person with a masters degree in this field?
Again, any comments would be helpful!
