Thanks everybody! They have the exact associate's program at the community college in my city that the companies in my city ask for for lab tech or lab assistant positions. It would be a lot of ppipette work and then some documentation. The degree can be rolled into a bs at the community college or transferred to the local university as well. But there is NO WAY i want to face down that much school nt to mention all that debt. But it could always be an optin later.
I havent made an appointment to talk to anyone yet. I still need to do that.
