For my 3 week break I did nothing but watch TV, sleep, and buy a pair of shoes. I spent Christmas and New Years with my family.

Greatness.”

I think this quote means that if you want to reach for success you have to try to reach it. Like if you want people around the world to know who you are you have to do something worth it.

Clinical Laboratory Specialist

Duties and Responsibilities:

Clinical Laboratory Specialists include both Clinical Laboratory Technicians and Clinical Technologists.  These professions are also referred to as Medical Laboratory Technicians or Medical Technologists. 

Both technicians and technologists perform laboratory work to identify, diagnose, and treat diseases.

Clinical laboratory technicians use microscopes, laboratory equipment, chemicals and computers to perform laboratory procedures.  They also collect blood specimens and prepare culture media.  They conduct tests and prepare reports for clinical technologists or physicians.

Clinical technologists perform more complex laboratory tests and procedures than technicians.  They also supervise technicians, confirm their tests, and manage laboratory quality control programs.

Most clinical laboratory specialists work in hospitals, but they are also employed by private practices, medical groups, research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and universities.

Average Salary:    $20,000 - $28,000

Educational Requirements:

Students should take the most challenging high school courses in, science, math, and English.

An associate's degree in the field or completion of a specialized in-house training program is required to become a clinical laboratory technician.

A bachelor's degree in the field is normally required to become a clinical technologist; however some employers accept an associate's degree and extensive clinical experience as a substitute.  Many technologists pursue additional graduate education or specialized training to advance their careers in clinical chemistry, blood banking, and microbiology.

Do you think you would like to be one?

It sounds good but I wouldn’t take this career.
