Oh Good, You Made It! Oop... Sorry, No You Didn't.

I know... I complain about formal education A LOT. So here's more!

When I chose my major (Health Science), I thought, "Hey, the health care field is really a great thing to get into right now. I mean people always get sick, right?" And I was right, health care really is a great place to find a job. That being said, a health science degree is NOT  a good way to get into the health care field.

"What?" you may ask, "how can a degree in 'health science' not get you a job in health care? I mean, you must be able to be a Medical Assistant?"

"No."

"An opthamologist assistant?"

"No."

"Dental Assistant?"

"No."

"Hospice Care Assistant?"

"No."

"Pharmaceutical Technician's Assistant?"

"No."

"Well, surely you can be a lowly phlebotomy technician."

"No, I cannot."

"Well, at least you can work behind the desk answering phone calls for the lowly phlebotomy technician."

"No, I cannot. While they do not require a degree, they do require two years of experience as a phone answerer."

"You reeaalllly picked a bad major."

"I know. Hey, will you drop me off by that new Full Monty club so I can drop off this application to be a stripper?"
