I’m about to go to college to get an Associate degree for Laboratory Science Technology to become a Medical Lab Technician. I live in SoCal right between LA and San Bernardino county. I’ve been looking for a career that fits me and it seems like this might be it??
I’m also in my 30’s so I feel like I’m so late in life to be starting a career 😭😭

I need a career where I can afford to live alone and not hate myself and the job. I refuse to live with someone and I have zero interest in a relationship.
I have a lot of trouble when it comes to any sort of customer service, I just want a task/s and that is my focus.

Is the field easy-ish to get into? Or do people struggle to find job openings? Is there any tips for college or things I should know? Is there anything I should be studying inside and out and know from memory?

I’m not squeamish but I don’t want to draw blood from people or be a nurse. My sister is an LVN, she loves her job and thrives in it and she suggested this position for me, and thinks it would be perfect.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated 🫶

Does anyone else have a stage where they get bored and lazy and procrastinate because they’ve hit a certain stage?
For example I love building stuff and putting it together but usually at that part I’m like ‘I want to be done’ and often move onto something new. I MIGHT end up doing the base coat on first after I finish building second project then base coat the second then I really get bored and don’t wanna keep working.
They’ll sit there grey and waiting until I’m bored again and decide to finally attempt painting it.
A bit more rare but sometimes I’m making something and get bored before finishing and put it away and never finish it.
I do have ADHD so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why I get bored 😂😂😂 (currently no meds, makes my hands SO shaky)
I wish I didn’t get bored though because I do love making things, I haven’t drawn in months because I try to draw and just get bored of it.
So yeah! Anyone else relate? Anything you do to help it? I’d love to hear other’s stories
