This beats a biology degree for any pre-med individual. Have fun sitting on your ass guys if med school declines you.

MT(ACSP) of 12 yrs here. PROS: job security, positions available in every state, good health insurance, employee discounts at local businesses (here anyway), very little or no patient contact, flexible hours, lab results make up about 70% of medical decisions, intelligent coworkers, overtime. CONS: payscales need an overhaul, overtime, short staffing, working holidays and weekends, opportunities for advancement, lack of aknowledgement, ever-changing regs, stress.

@bren57mar no one your 2 cents dumbass. STFU

i think like other jobs this one doesn't go with everyone. from what i have heard many people complain about respect, etc, etc but i have noticed that if you are a person that likes routine and does not need the approval of others to feel good about yourself and you are not a people person and love lab work then the job might be for you.

is it true that a radiologist/phlebotomist can also work for the ASPCA or at any veterinary hospital or clinic?? is it true that you don't exactly have to be a medical technologist?

@vespasian1977 Thanks for the post! I am going to start a CLS program in January and your experience will come in helpful. I have a associates degree in Forensics, so I hope it will help me out some once I start this program. I'm a total lab rat and this just seems right for me.

You idiots need to stop bashing this job. America in general graduates about 1/3 of the Medical Technologists needed to run the hospitals. When you go to the emergency room or your primary care physician and they order numerous tests, who do you think carries these out? The healthcare system would fail without this profession, as it is different than radiology, nursing, etc. I'm a Medical Technologist student, which is different from a Medical Laboratory Technician, as it requires a bachelors.

ninja, say what you want but just because this certain profession doesn't appeal to you doesn't make it boring. have an open mind.
blumac,
this job can be done with either a 2 year or 4 year degree. both degrees are in medical technology, and they both allow you to do the same job, to a certain extend 2 yr degree holders may not be able to do quite as complex tests. 4 Yr salary for the job is somewhat better, about 25 starting off versus around 19-21 for the 2 yr degree.
