Ask someone who spent 35K on schooling to become a Medical Lab Technician, graduated, and is now working at McDonald's anything.

You must have fucked up somewhere if you can't find a job as a lab tech.

The hopes that I may get a job elsewhere
>>683001786
When I went the school the field was booming, but now that I'm graduated and accredited, there aren't any jobs in my field, so I figured I'd do something to get an income in the mean time. I applied all over the fucking place and McDonald's was the only one that wanted me.
>>
>>683000995
why mcdonalds? what stand in the way of your dream?
>>
>>683002370
No jobs. The only place that hired me because I had previous restaurant business.
>>
>>683002353
Then you're in the wrong state. I worked in a lab for 2 years and never even had a degree. I had a few offers from Hospitals and a couple of research labs, but lab work sucks and I got a better gig.
>>
right off the bat, you paid way to much.

Why didn't you simply join the service and get paid to learn all that, and get practical experience?

I have been milking my four year enlistment for over ten years now as an air traffic controller. Idiots pay thousands to get half the education I got paid for and still don't get hired.

I have no sympathy for someone who pays for something when they could get paid to learn it.

I couldn't join the army. I'm technically disabled with my hearing loss (deaf on one ear, partial hearing loss in the other, but I get on just fine. No one really knows until I tell them) but the army/services wouldn't take me because of that. That was my long term plan when I was a kid, go into the army. I was heart broken when they turned me down. >>683003467

I'm not gonna stop looking. I even got involved in a program that helps me because of my disability (previously stated, hearing loss since birth). It works sort of underground--all employers have spots open for the disabled so they get grant money from the syste. Employers don't advertise these spots publicly, instead they go through companies like the one I'm going through to hire people like me. No hits, yet.

OP question. Did your school offer some sort of placement/ internship?

Technologist in training and they have already set me up with two hospitals come September that usually hire grads
>>
>>683007579
>SSDI is so fucking confusing
Yeah it is, but DON'T give up. Do every thing they want and expect to be denied [70% do initially]. It's the Appeal that will win it for you.

I thought I read something about them enacting a law to payoff disabled people's student loans recently.

Good luck man.
>>
>>683008077
No internship or training after graduation.
I mean, I had my clinical runs/trials, but they left me with nothing afterwards. Shit, son, ID take an unpaid internship in a heart beat. Get me out of serving mcfries to fat mcfucks.
>>683008170
Thanks, man. It's hella fucking confusing and I thought I was denied in the first place because I went three months without any word from them. They haven't said anything other than they want to make sure I'm not faking shit.

Not included in the first reply, but I went to community college directly out of high school. So, the community college probably doesn't have those sort of hook ups/ money to give us internships or further training. We graduate, we're on our own.
>>683008640
I moved from California to Washington my senior years of high school. I grew up in San Francisco. Had to leave because my single mom couldn't afford it anymore.
>>
>>683008535
I dont know how it is in america but in Canada you are REQUIRED to do at least 700hrs of unpaid internship + national certification to be a lab Technologist.

So long as you are not a fuck up during the internship the Hospitals usually hire you.

Maybe move your butt to Canada. But you will need to learn histology

Takes about 2 years now.
Look for a Law firm that handles it. They can only take a % of your settlement [which started the day you filed - that stays in place when you Appeal] or I *think* 5k max - whatever is lower.

Personally I filed it myself and hired on an Advocate [hate lawyers] for my Appeal. Both types know the system and can get you through it.

What's your disability, m8y?

>>683009621
>I feel like I need to give up
NO. Call a firm that deals with it. That's how they make their $$$ and it's no cash up front from you. Hell you just gotta show up. They'll do the rest.

Dude there's help there for you. It just takes time.

I enjoy helping young women with disabilities like yourself out financially. Please upload picture of your tits with your Bitcoin address written on them and prepare for wealth.

Look for someone in the nearest city.
Get online and search "disability lawyers". Check their reviews out.

Mean while check out the SSA site. Learn how it works.

If you can ask someone who's already in the program.

>>683010570
Damn dude, you alright?
Spinal damage from birth or an accident?
My father is on disabilty due to spinal damage after a job related accident.

I know someone that got a degree in social work. After she finished college she worked at her moms restaurant for about two years. She just waited until a job opened up at a local place. We live in a shitbox small town. Just keep checking online employment services every week or so and eventually something will open up.

Accident when I was a teenager initially then I worked myself until I dropped in my late 40's.

Look it's not the high life [payments keep you under the poverty level] but you get healthcare and qualify for other benefits.

Overall - fuck yeah I'd rather be working but the body won't move much anymore.

How did you spend all that money, get all that education and are now working minimum wage?
>>
>>683000995
Med techs are in very high demand.

If you are in a rural buttfuckville with one hospital in the county, that may be why there are no jobs.

Go towards anythING resembling a city and you will at least get a part time job as long as you don't show up drunk to the interview.
>>
>>683011158
No problem.
Keep with it.

to translate it into stupid for you: thats the point of this thread. now go get me a big fry, you twat
>>
>>683000995
You should try cataloguing every place that could possibly hire a medtech within one hour driving distance to your location, and apply. Most of those places do hirings over the intrawebs so develop a plan to do both of those things regularly. A lot of times if you just keep applying somewhere every 6-12 months they will just hire you regardless.
