I am having trouble deciding between a Medical Laboratory Technician or a Dental Hygienist. Which one do you think would be a better career? I looked on many sites and a lot said that the Dental hygienist career would be a wise choice. Do you think if I chose the Medical Laboratory Technician there would be more of a wide selection of choices(job wise) Help!!! Your advice would be very helpful and appreciated.

I'm out of college and looking for a professional job (Medical Laboratory Technician), and I don't think jeans and a t shirt are going to look good when handing out my resumes to possible employers. I have the dress pants and blouse for the interview but what should I wear to hand out resumes?

I am graduating with my associates in a week, and starting at the local hospital two days later. I will continue on to obtain my Bachelor's in Pre-Professional Biology, so that I can sit for the Medical Laboratory Scientist Certification, as by then I should have the two years in the core lab to meet those requirements with my Bachelors in Biology. But I am considering med school after that. It is only a year longer than a Master's Degree program. I am 43 now. Divorced, and not allowed much time with my two small children from different mothers. My children are my life, but I can not afford to see them much as they live in different states from each other. I had to go to college to replace a lost career, which it looks like I w2ill have been successful in doing. Alternatively, I suppose I could study an online course in Laboratory Research and pursue a Doctorate in Education, to end up a Professor. However there is no guarantee of full time employment as a Professor, and they don't earn much. I could spend three years of grad school to become a Physician's Assistant. I am not sure what all options are available to me, and what would be a wise choice for someone already middle aged.

I think it's more like 'medical lab technician' but i just want to confirm. They kind of look at tissue samples and determine/diagnose (ie. this tissue is cancerous). Also, how do you obtain qualifications for a job like this? I have a degree in biology.
