What is the future job outlook for this fellowship ? Would anyone do this over a specialized surg path fellowship?

Let me dispel the myth: mol path is done by technicians and mostly technicians in large commericial labs like ARUP or Quest. Pathologists and PhD lab directors alike are managerial...re-read that last word:MANAGERIAL. If I own a private, for profit lab, am I gonna hire the 90K/yr PhD manager or a 150K/yr MD?? Hey you dont need a Harvard MBA to answer to that question.
Folks, do what you want, but dont come back whining here when you are bunked in some trailer park in East St. Louis training 150K in med school debt because you decided to a mol path fellowship instead of acquiring an actual useful skill set.

On a related note, does anyone know about the career prospects after doing a fellowship in molecular genetics (esp lab diagnostics). I am especially interested in Neurogenetics (kinda obvious from my name,eh) and would like to hear more about oppurtunities after doing a fellowship in clinical molecular genetics.
TIA,
NS
