>
> According to the US News and World Report, dated October 27, 1997, the
> Career guide issue, page 98, lactation consulting is one of the jobs to
> have.  The runner up to physician's assistants, "lactation consultants
fill
> the knowledge gap for women whose mothers bottle fed them."  This is also
> because, "breastfeeding rates are steadily rising."
>
> The report continues to say that the average annual LC salary is
$25,000+.
> The down side-a medical assistant trained at the local vo-tech makes
> $22,250, and a NYC sanitation worker makes $23,100.  Oh well, many of our
> rewards as breastfeeding specialists are colored green.
