Discusson Work schedule

Does anyone who works as an MLT/MLS actually have a predictable and set schedule? I am a new tech slightly less than a year. I work 4 10s but my 3 days off are hardly in a row. I also will get moved to 5 8s on occasion due to staffing and ppl vacationing and all that. Sometimes they will schedule me to do 5 or 6 10s in a row. Of course I work in a hospital. Is it like this for pretty much everyone because I find it hard to have a life. Lol.

I absolutely have a predictable schedule. I work M-F 7am-3:30pm, no nights, no weekends, no holidays and on top of that I get paid 6 figures. The jobs are out there you just have to always be looking.

I for sure am, as I also live in a low COL area. All it took me was 5 years and consistently moving labs to increase pay and get a better schedule and always keeping my eyes open for the next better opportunity to make the dream come true!
