there is a hig need for lab techs, and its a high paying and great job to get into. You could work in a hospital amung the nurses and doctors, taking blood, using the equipment that is used to analyse it...its a good possibilty for you. Or there's x-ray techs if you want to go further and really get into using the equipment, but its a very hard program and a lot to be learned....of course so is a lab tech but its more people oriented than machine oriented. Less anatomy than an x-ray tech would need.

Respiratory Therapist at a community college still takes 2 years. Phlebotomist (lab tech) takes one year Check out this site:

If you are not willing to invest in more than a year of training or schooling, you will not get the pay you want.
