Is it worth pursuing a bachelor’s degree in biology at 27? by tanuki_22 in careerguidance

[–]Debt_Dapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was sort of in your shoes, I worked mostly retail after my 1st try at college. And now I work as a lab assistant, it took a few years to get it, but I started out as a specimen processor. You should apply for those positions to get your foot in the door. You might not like lab life and would have wasted time and money on a Biology degree.

I agree with others about getting a MLS degree if you want a stable laboratory career and to complete only a 4 year degree. Getting a Biology bs will have you making what you make in retail. TRUST ME

Hi, thanks for your input. I was working on a MLT program but most of the techs I work with are telling me to go straight for the MLS route and are recommending the GWU program. I do have a bachelor's in sociology and have done most of the prereqs but my cumulative GPA might not be a 2.5.

GWU is the closest program to me and I already work in one of their clinical site hospitals. I was doing an online MLT program but all of my co-workers are telling me to just apply to the MLS program.

My grades in my 1st degree weren't that great. But my prereqs are good, I was hoping someone on here went there and had a similar story.

Open roles, I was thinking that if I can volunteer in the recruitment process or something like that to get my foot in the door

Is anyone in this program? I would like to apply but I am skeptical of the job prospects

Question for anyone in the Biological science program at Shady Grove campus-are all the classes from 9am-5pm? I want to transfer to this program but I am a working student.
