Consider a career as a Medical Laboratory Scientist! There are Bachelor degreed and associate degreed lab professionals. We are experiencing a critical shortage of qualified professionals. Work in a hospital or reference lab , anywhere in the country! We’re in demand all over the USA. Pay and benefits vary by location but are similar to nursing and other allied health professionals, Opportunities also exist for laboratorians in manufacturing installation and service and sales of the many analyzers and reagents and materials used in our profession .

I would suggest searching for the jobs you are most interested in and seeing the requirements and needed skills. I would then plan how to go about obtaining those skills. You could volunteer to gain some experience and add to your resume

The career path you've chosen to pursue, whether it's a degree or a certification, will make finding a job relatively straightforward, even if it's just to gain some experience. The only exception might be in the administrative field, where competition can be fierce, ranging from recent high school graduates to those with master's degrees all vying for the same roles. It's crucial to ensure that you've completed the necessary training and certifications for the job you're seeking. Unless you're in a very small, rural area, finding a job shouldn't pose much of a problem. If you're looking for a more challenging role that isn't available in your immediate vicinity, you might need to consider relocating or commuting a greater distance. But rest assured, you'll find a job that aligns with what YOU want.

Hey Caleb,
I would suggest narrowing down what in medicine do you really see as a career for yourself. Once you determine this, you can do program research to see what degree you would need for that job. With the degree and a career path figured out, I would suggest figuring out what jobs you can do to boost your experience and skills in that field you plan on going in to help get into that specific program. For instance, if you were interested in becoming a nurse, you would want to research the prerequisites for the nursing program to help you get into that program. You would also want to search jobs such as CNA or medical scribe which can help you show you have experience in the field prior to being a nurse.
If you do find a program you like, see what resources the college you do go to or plan on going to has to offer such a mentors or programs that you can be involved in on campus that way you are working on networking in that industry.
Goodluck!

Hello Caleb. Great question. One of the things that you can do to make it easier to find a job when you are done with school is to make a list of the doctors you have shadowed. You can also make a list of the hospitals you volunteered at as well as any position where you helped others. This will show whoever is hiring that you have the credibility to be in the position you applied for. Good luck.
