Medical Lab Tech Job Question?
This Question From Tennessee Nursing Schools | The Question Has 2 Answers
I’ve got a BS degree in Marketing but I’m looking for a career change and want to get into the medical field (more job security!). I tried Nursing but I’m not having any luck getting into a program because my GPA was a 3.1 and they said it’s too low and would have to go back and retake classes I got a B in and try to get an A? What the freak! I am a male, and my wife suggested Medical Lab Tech. I have no idea what I’d be doing, but there is a program here in my small town that I can start in April. Looks like 18-20 hr here to start in Middle Tennessee which isn’t that bad for this area but not great. It’s a 18 month program and I’ve looked online and have a “little” idea of what I’d be doing. Testing blood, stool, etc,. My question is, is this a good or decent career field? I’d like to maybe have a answer from someone like me (34, wife and 3 kids) who’s made a career change in the Medical field and is a Medical lab tech. Do you like you job? What pay do you top out at and how many “years” of experience does it take to be more marketable?
Thanks for any advice!
