it's not as glamorous as you think, whammy. All seriousness, I'm a molecular pathology lab technician, 5 years coming. I screen for and report the presence of viruses in the semen, piss, snot, shit, blood and post mortem chunky kibbles of you dirty fuckers. If you've shat in a cup for a doctor, chances are I've not only seen it, but poked around in it with a wooden stick and scraped it into little tubes for analysis while signing motown songs to myself. In spite of having spent the better part of my adult life playing with excrement, I still hate getting blood taken, and seeing phlegm wobble about makes me dry heave.
I have to calibrate and fix the instruments on top of everything else, while routinely dealing with crack smoking doctors who don't wash their hands after shitting.
Pay's ok, security is good, hours are flexible, and it's good for a giggle when you see people from high school etc. pop up as being positive for Herpes.
