how old are the people you work with

couple of questions because im starting university next year to pursue a medical lab science degree

-What is the daily life of a med lab tech? what is the first thing you do when you get there, what is the first thing you do when you receive a specimen

-is there a hierarchy sort of thing(least paid to most paid) - what are the duties?

-what can you do with a masters or phd in medical lab science

-what happens when you mess up. for example, you misidentify a microorganism

-what are your schedules like? 7am-7pm? 9am-4pm?

-do you plan on going back to school to pursue a masters or phd?

-when you were in high school, did you envision yourself to be a medical lab tech?

-would having a computer science background be helpful?

what was the biggest mistake you made?

thanks for all the replies. i know im not very specific but everything you guys are saying is helping!

another question: do you specialize in microbiology, biochem, etc. or do you rotate every week?

what is your favorite thing about this career?
