Thank you!

There's nothing that will make your face itch worse than when you're wearing gloves, except when you've just splattered feces on them.

Bombay is extremely rare. Odds are you will never, ever meet one - not at work, not on the street, not anywhere.

Depends on who you are and what you want. That's a copout answer, but it's true.

Two years of community college for an MLT will nudge you into the middle class; four years at a regular college for an MLS will move you firmly into it. Either way finding and keeping jobs is relatively easy - you'll be paying off debt while your friends are stuck at Starbucks. And the job, for the most part, is not terribly difficult. Hard to complain about any of that.

OTOH, if you're young and you're worried about maximizing lifetime income, obviously this isn't the major for you. But then you already know that, which is why you're getting a degree in finance or engineering or applying for medical school to become a specialist MD.

There's a lot of bitching about pay because we are underpaid for our level of education and the value of the service we provide. But it's not like we starve. Except when we're students, cause, y'know, college.

Actually, the vampire is your doctor. That's why he orders all of those tests. It all gets back to him (or her) eventually.

We don't get paid for those, though, just a regular paycheck for working in the lab.
