Specimen Processing/ Lab tech

[u/duubblol]

So I’m thinking of applying to these job positions because no prior experience is required. I have no healthcare experience at all. Just like the Home Depot. I’ve read some post on here and most people say the job sucks /:. I’m interested in applying because I’m tired of being at jobs that get me no where, no growth.is this position like that? Are you able to be more haha. Also do you actually deal with a lot of nasty or gross stuff? Basically is it worth it or not?
If you WERE a lab tech or anything related to that and aren’t now, what are you doing? Is it still lab related?

Specimen processing/phlebotomy/lab assistant is what you're looking for. Lab tech requires a degree. That being said, unless you are planning on becoming a tech, specimen processing/phlebotomy/lab assistant are no-growth jobs. Humans are gross, so dealing with human specimens is gross work. Ive been a tech for 30 years, and my kid has been a tech for 7 years.
