photomikey posted:How low does your self esteem have to be to write a story about how you finished grad school and were doing postdoc work in a technology field and you got a great gig by "dumb luck"? Like... they could have picked the guy cooking fries at McD's or the guy boozing on the street corner or the guy with the graduate degree in an engineering field, and... man, crazy luck, it was you! People make their own luck. Some posters are really downplaying the amount you can influence in your own success. Nothing is guaranteed, but it's not terribly constructive to just throw your hands in the air and imply that dumb luck is all that will matter. This comes off as really discouraging to people that need to stay motivated in tough situations. The more you convince yourself you don't have any control in your success, the less likely you're going to take advantage of any little thing that can help.

A clinical lab tech job in a hospital can pay pretty well. Our local Kaiser had quite a few techbros/engineers turned phlebotomists and lab techs. And I'm guessing that with some jobs it's more about the interview because obviously somebody is working those jobs those experience requirements defy space and time.
