Yes, but I'm intimidated if someone wants me to do an experiment off the top of my head without an actual procedure or the resources for that matter (including reagent concentrations etc.) Otherwise I've been exposed to a variety of lab protocols that are commonly used to purify/amplify proteins, clone genes, that kind of business. I'll definitely have to incorporate that into my resume so they know I'm not a complete dud.

Sorry, I did mention that. I only know basics of java, I couldn't create an application with a graphical user interface so it's worthless - well for the public anyway. I enjoy working with computers in general: debugging, repairing, etc. So to answer your question, I'll probably stick to laboratory research. More specifically, pathology and genetic research. Unfortunately, without a PhD, I'll end up as a lab technician. It's a start at least and maybe if I'm "worthy" they'll support me through grad school. I can dream at least.
