I&#039;m in my second year of a 2yr program. I absolutely love it. You will hear some negative things about the field. It&#039;s not a dead end job. You can go on to medical school, pharmacy school, pathology assistant, laboratory sales, etc. Once you get in, you will find your niche.

The only negative things I hear are that nurses like to give you sh*t every now and then. They are under the impression that lab techs are not educated. We are educated, because we are taught know the science behind what we are doing.
