Lab Career Strategy Session - $200 / 70 min

It’s time to ask yourself what your true desire is.
Do you still want to stay in the field?
Many people choose their first jobs based on immediate necessity or societal pressure. By your late 20s to early 30s, you gain a clearer sense of your actual skills, interests, and tolerance for certain environments. The initial "hustle" phase of early adulthood can lead to exhaustion. Many switch industries to find better compensation, healthier boundaries, and jobs that better support their personal lives.
Do you see the “ceiling“?
An MLS degree will give you a bench role, and a few additional years of experience may allow you to work as a technical specialist, but what’s after that? I can help you draw a plan to grow your current role or a backup plan that can grow outside the box.
FAQs
I have been staying at the same level for too long. Should I just quit?
That should not be the first choice unless you have some specific reasons for your current role that prevent you from reaching further.
I don’t know if I like my job anymore, but what else can I do?
Do you like animals? Many wildlife research and protection facilities also hire MLS or MT. We can also discuss remote options or, if you would like to keep studying, unlock even more.
