Laboratory personnel should have better pay!!!

[medlabtek]

MLT=Medical Laboratory Technician

MT=Medical Technologist

MLT=2 year associate degree

MT=4 year bachelors degree

MLT's usually work subordinate to MT's but not always. MT's usually are paid more (more responsibilities).

Oh yah one thing to add. This is just an a.a degree. CLS is much more tougher.

Lol this career will be the next hype after nursing (since this major is impacted and

Finding a job is very hard).

@getrealthen I'm currently in a two year medical lab technology program in ohio.

I don't like nursing. I do like medicine, as in medical doctor. At the university 8 of us were special due to GPA to navigate a faster track for medical degrees, and that would be fine, and I do feel that medicine is within my reach easily, but I like pharmacy, but I like pharmacy too, so I am still fine tuning.

I'm bout' ready to take my pharmacy tech exam, then two more exams for tech II and III, take some more classes and apply to pharmacy school.

@getrealthen I think that all college courses besides the general ones are rough. But it gets easier if you enjoy what you are learning.

@greenlightpagan

not back east do the comm coll have that yet. the class sounds really rough! I have an Assoc in Science and Arts, and I am thinking either a medical lab technologists, pharmacy or medical research-like veterinary animal science research. I had thought about nursing, but nursing is getting lost in the system...at the tech college they are having new degrees which is stuff like hospital wound care team, IV teams, & what is called patient profile-admission assessment

@getrealthen You can get an associates degree in two years at a community college in Missouri. But you have to be taking all your classes full time which is about 18 credit hours per semester and have no classes below a B- grade.

They are indispensable 4 sure.

A lot smarter than some freakin nurses. Nurses "STILL" cannot even tell you about TCells. Good god some of them are just the stupidest!! in the medical profession. All nurses do anymore is paper work, and personally, I think that an RN position should be done away with. The position of an RN should be broken down into specialty areas. Be a great way to create jobs.
