sumarachi Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 haha well i have no life, i took a different route in school. During my 2nd year i enrolled in a 2 year professional allied health program (Medical Laboratory Technology) and got my degree. Then, I was blessed to have gotten a job the week after I graduated, and I did my regular coursework simultaneously with the program. I worked part-time at a pharmacy for 5 years (16-21) and then got a job in an urgent care center with my lab degree where i was cross-trained as a CNA part-time. I am graduating a year late with my bachelors...23 (im graduating this year vs. my "planned" graduation year out of highschool) but it was worthwhile in the end. I pretty much have had no life, currently im working 40 hours a week at the clinic and finishing up my degree fulltime. I have been accumulating hours since I was 17-18 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
