 | I am currently considering going into this field and I was wondering if there are any clinical laboratory scientists out there to answer some of my questions.
First, what does the future hold for clinical laboratory scientists?
Will CLS be in demand in the next 20 years?
For those who are currently Clinical Laboratory Scientists, do you regret going into this field?
What are the pros and cons in working as a CLS?
I’ve heard you can specialize in a much more specific portion of CLS like hematology, microbiology, cytology, etc.. If so what is the most sought after specialty by companies/hospitals?
What was your starting salary?
And what does your salary look like now after x months/years of experience?
Can a current clinical laboratory scientist please answer these questions for me? I’d be eternally grateful if you could take the time to answer these questions.
Thank You

 | I'm fascinated with medicine, diseases, and the way the human body works, so naturally I would like to work somewhere in the medical field. Only problem is that i don't know where exactly. I have time to decide still, as I am still only a junior in high school, but I'm beginning to look at colleges and planning out my future. In school, i really accel in subjects such as honors level chemistry, algebra II/trigonometry, and biology. Next year i plan to take AP chemistry, calculus AB, psychology, and possibly biology, and i will also be taking honors anatomy. With these courses, i hope to gain a better understanding of things that will help me in the medical field. But what i really want to know is what feilds of medicine combine my strengths of chemistry, math, and biology?

 | I will be graduating in a few years with a degree in Microbiology and I am learning Japanese at a pretty good pace and plan to become fluent, and then move to Japan. Would it be possible to find a laboratory job in Japan (assuming I pass at least JLPT Level 2)? I don't know if there are places in the US where I could work and then transfer to a Japanese branch. Thanks!
