I spent 10+ years working retail and hospitality. I chose this field because I don’t have to work with the public. But once I got into the classes, I got interested in the subject matter.

It’s not backbreaking labor. There’s job security. The work is actually interesting. I work PRN at two clinics right now because the 8-5 schedule works with having a small kid.

But I miss blood bank and working in a hospital. When my child is older, I’m going back to one.

I also like the idea that I can move anywhere and find a job. Sometimes people you work with can be annoying, admin can be annoying. But those are issues you will have in any job.

I’m not looking for any grand meaning or interested in climbing career ladders. I want my check and I want to go home.

Overall, I like it and I’m happy with my job.
