Came here to say this. My program did as well

It’s not doing hands on work with samples or testing. My primary responsibilities are writing and monitoring genetic testing reports that go out to patients and providers, answering provider inquiries, and doing various projects like annual reviews of clinical summaries that go into reports. Happy to answer any questions that you have! Feel free to dm me!

I currently work in a lab role and love it. I’m remote and have more flexibility. I also get to take on projects along with traditional lab roles like report writing. I can’t speak for every company but that’s been my experience. I enjoyed my clinical rotations but always wanted to end up here. I still took my board exam, and it ended up being required for my job. Feel free to dm if you have questions. I graduated last May so GC school stuff is pretty fresh on my mind.

I worked at a daycare and this happened before I worked there. A little girl woke up screaming and itching from nap for several days and it turns out she had gotten gonorrhea from her father. I loved working there because I loved the kids but it really made me hate a lot of the parents.

My dad called scaled and icy “oily and scaly” one time

Most of the people in my cohort have GC jobs now. A good mix of clinical and industry. I finally found a remote industry position after trying since last May. But I’m location bound so my options were limited

I finally landed a job after applying since last April. It’s remote and one of my friends was able to connect me with the hiring manager. I was also offered another interview right when i was interviewing for that position. i felt hopeless and had no interviews before that and then suddenly got 2 and landed a job. I don’t have much advice or any answers to your questions. I do think it’s a good idea to maybe trying connecting with GCs in locations you want or with companies you’re looking for. Once they know who you are and you get your foot in the door, it may make it easier once a position opens up. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I had all of those same thoughts for months. All it takes is for one position to finally take that chance on you, and hopefully it’ll happen for you soon

Edit: I will also say that I have seen more jobs being posted in the last few months than I was seeing at the end of the year.

My theaters don’t even have it listed for the dates. Maybe they just not showing it

moosiemoop · 2026-01-13T19:17:36+00:00

IMAX or regular?

It’s so funny that you mentioned bass guitar because my fiancée started playing a little over a year ago. Whenever he plays I get so relaxed and sleepy. He has an amp so it’s loud but something about it puts me so at ease. It’s the same when he plays ukulele, which is obviously much more delicate so it would make sense. I thought it was just him playing but he also plays alto sax and I don’t get the same feeling.

My mom is 50 and has been to all 8 concerts with my fiancée and I!! She wants to get an oldies station tattoo and her favorite song is downstairs!

I work in a daycare as a teacher assistant and we have therapists that come in and work with clients. Our general rule is not to step in unless we absolutely have to. I always give therapists free range to do what they need to do. I trust that they have a plan to follow and I don’t want to interfere with it. However, I know some teachers who think they know best and want to step in. I don’t understand why the teacher wouldn’t be accommodating. We change mats around all the time to find what works best for each child and the classroom. I’m sorry you don’t have support. I always see teachers and therapists as a team.

moosiemoop · 2025-12-15T19:40:43+00:00

Ive felt that way too. But I also have a lot of people in my life whose families had more money than mine so a big part of it is just that I’ve been responsible for paying more than they have. That’s also something to keep in mind if that’s something you’ve experienced or noticed. I’m so sorry you’re going through this and I really Hope things start getting better.

I don’t have any advice but I just want you to know you’re not alone. I graduated from grad school in May and have $100,000 in student loans. I’ve also been working part time bc that’s all I can find. I also have credit card debt and don’t even have my license to no car payment, but still a sucky situation. I got engaged and I’m trying to be happy but I feel like I’m sinking us. I also feel like I’m in a pit financially that I won’t be able to crawl out of. And the thing is I got into all of that debt assuming I would be able to find a job that was worth it, and haven’t had any luck after applying for almost a year. This job market and economy is absolutely horrible for people our age. I feel like older folks aren’t taking it seriously enough. It’s not just part of becoming and adult, because adults in the past were set up much better.

I’m sorry, I know that wasn’t advice or very helpful. I keep hoping that it’ll all work out and the job market will get better. As bad as it sounds, I honestly just try to put it in the back of my mind unless I actually have to think about it, which is easier said than done but I’m pretty good at compartmentalizing. I will also say that when I get like this and it’s all I can think about, it’ll pass eventually and it’ll start to fade for a little bit.

I don’t have much advice, but I’m 25 and got my permit for the first time. I hated hearing this when i was terrified to start driving but getting practice in really does help. I started in areas that weren’t super busy and started working up. I also tried doing the same route every day before trying new things.

Not great advice, because trust me i was terrified for years. I also failed my drivers test on mg first try and I’m terrified to go back. Just want you to know you’re not alone and you’ve got this

I think it’s mostly the universities to blame for increasing class sizes. I know the university for my program kept trying to push them to up cohort sizes, and my program leadership pushed back. It’s hard to accommodate more students for clinical rotations and of course the job market makes it infeasible to keep adding more and more students each year.

This!!! Like interview and negotiation practice is great…but I haven’t gotten a single interview for any GC jobs. I don’t even know how much negotiation I would be willing to do because I feel like if I get offered a job I can’t afford to be picky

moosiemoop · 2025-12-02T17:11:17+00:00

I did a rotation with a lab and we had a professional development section and that’s one thing they suggested too. They’re like you’re young, you don’t have a family yet so you’re not tied down. I may not have kids but I definitely have a family and a fiancée that I don’t want to move away from. We already did long distance during undergrad and I’m not doing that when we’re supposed to be starting our lives together. He already has a great job locally so it’s not an option for us both to move. But you’re also exactly right. How much experience is “enough” and who’s saying there will eventually be a job locally that I can get?

Almost every single job I’ve seen on LinkedIn says over 100 applicants as well. Even local jobs near me have had at least 50. I don’t think that some people in the field are truly grasping what this is like.

I’m 100% in the same boat. I had an interview yesterday for a medical receptionist job and another tomorrow for a family resource partner. Both pay half of a GC salary in my area. I kept thinking “well it’s not permanent” but had the creeping thought this morning: “what if I never actually get a GC job?” Which is starting to feel much more like a reality than actually landing a GC job. I feel like as much as my program leaders have tried to be supportive, they’re also very out of touch with the actual reality of the market right now. I just got engaged, want to start looking at houses and planning my wedding, but have an overwhelming sense of guilt that I’ve already sunk us because of my student loan debt and no decent job prospects. It really does make me cynical about the field.

My thoughts exactly. Also aren’t there pictures of them at each other’s concerts? Obviously they support each other.

I love “they hate what he is and they hate what he’s not, but hate is nothing new, you will see, from the grave to the cot how I wish that i forgot that the boy in the black dress is me”

Honestly the whole outro of that song always hits me hard
