Hi! Career satisfaction is important, so it's wise to assess your interests, abilities, and goals when making a decision. I loved nature and all things biological as a child, my science classes in high school, and experiments of all kinds. So, I was drawn to the field of laboratory medicine. It's more behind the scenes work, but depending on the type of facility where one works, there can be patient contact in sample collection. It's a vital role because most diagnoses and treatments are based on lab test results. Even with the advanced technology and instruments which seem to do all the work, making sure those instruments are functioning properly and maintained appropriately and giving reasonable results can be challenging. And there are many opportunities for employment everywhere and options for advancement in the field. Best to you as you begin your career path!

For 15 years, I've proudly held the title of a National Certified Phlebotomist-II, ACA, NHCO. I can sincerely share that I have a deep passion for my profession. Phlebotomists play an incredibly crucial role, as we are the backbone of medical science. Our accurate work enables doctors and nurses to diagnose patients correctly. If we falter, it affects the entire healthcare process. Hence, our role is not just important, but indispensable.

Hello Jasmine!
As a 67-year-old Australian dietitian, I reside in a supported living facility while recovering from a diabetic ulcer. I opted against amputation. My day begins at 2:00 AM with breakfast, followed by a session of programming. I also make sure to respond to career-related queries that I receive via email, a practice I've been consistent with since 1994, accumulating over 100,000 hours.
In 1969-1970 I received telescopes as presents. Consequently, I wanted to do astrophysics. God had other plans with the death of my Uncle at 38 years of age. He had a massive coronary. Then his academic supervisor from 1960, Professor Masters shows up at our new university. The Professor taught biochemistry. I changed my major from physics and mathematics to biochemistry.
I read a very important book in 1976. It was "Are You Confused?" by Doctor Paavo Airola. It set me on to nutrition. I became a dietitian in 1988. In 1994 I combined two talents of mine. I had been engineering software since 1972. I combined that with nutrition education.
In 1981, I sought career advice from Lady Dr Phyllis Cilento. Despite her suggestion against becoming a dietitian, I pursued a postgraduate diploma in orthomolecular nutrition, studying the impact of vitamins. My experience includes working with natural therapists and collaborating with medical doctors specializing in vitamin and mineral therapy, witnessing their remarkable success. After Lady Dr. Cilento's demise in 1987, I completed my dietitian course in 1988. While I might have reached my career peak, my software programming venture is flourishing.
I live a solitary life, with occasional visits from a Christian couple. My relationship with the Dietitians' Association of Australia ended on a sour note, leading to the termination of my membership. They overlooked my efforts when I developed MenuWise in 1996, a dietary software I chose for my Master of Public Health Project.
My course coordinator at the University of New South Wales School of Health failed me, citing a financial "conflict of interest." He was harsh, predicting that I would make a fortune if my project outcome was positive. He reluctantly allowed me to graduate with a diploma in public health. His accusations were baseless as I earned a mere $0.01 an hour for my programming work.
I continue to educate myself, often using Google. I frequently search topics like "chromium diabetes" on Google Scholar.
My career path led me to work in 50 Australian hospitals across three state health departments. However, the turning point was in 1972 when I began programming. Since then, I've been merging programming with nutrition, dedicating about 5000 hours annually to my software, a nutrition education program, since 1994. My work is showcased on YouTube Studio at the following web address:

Despite not earning much, I plan to bequeath the software.
Best Regards,
JC.
