Why I Want To Be A Biological Technician

I never knew what it was that I plan on doing for the rest of my life, everything was so over whelming, so many careers and majors to choose from. This is something I will be doing for the rest of my life. Knowing this only made choosing a major and career more difficult. Doing this research helped me narrow down what it is that I want to major in and laid out the options I would have for a career. I have always been interested in curriculum that is based on hard facts and data rather than intuition answers. So after taking the career assessment it was no surprise to me that my interests’ and personality matched me to a career in the science field. My assessment showed me that I have an investigative, realistic and conventional (IRC) personality
Advantages are great pay, rewarding, excitement and keeps you sharp. Something interesting I found out about being a biological technician is that most of their research is funded by grants. The researchers write grant proposals to institutions, companies and government organizations to get money to help fund their research. For any more questions I have about becoming a biological technician, I can contact the Association of Professional Biology by visiting their website at www.professionalbiology.com , they’re located at 300-1095 McKenzie Avenue, Victoria, BC V8P 2L5 in Canada.
The second occupation that I looked into was nursing. Nursing was presented to me as a result of my assessment test. People who work in the nursing field usually have the interest code of SIC which is social, investigative and conventional. My interest code is realistic, investigative and conventional. I picked this career because it seemed like a challenge to me, biological technician was a perfect match but nursing would push me out of my comfort zone and it got me
An advantage of being a registered nurse is being able to pick if you want to specialize in neonatal care, rehabilitation or any other things you can specialize in the health field, it’s your choice. Another benefits is a good salary, typically $43,000-$63,000 a year in California, plus benefits and bonuses. A disadvantage would be long hours, attachment to patients and illness to constant exposure to sick patients.
The job outlook for a registered nurse looks very promising. There is a 19% projected employment in this career for the next ten years. The demand for these services will increase because people are living long (larger population to care for), retired workers will need replacements and healthcare will always be in demand.
Nursing was something I had always been curious about doing and I learned that there are so many opportunities and responsibilities that come with being an RN. I did not know that there were different types of nurses I always thought there was only one type of nurse like the ones I would see when I went to the doctors for a checkup but I was wrong. As of right now I do not see myself becoming a registered nurse but if in the future I ever changed my mind I know that MiraCosta and Cal State San Marcos have fantastic nursing programs where I can become a RN. I found the American Nurses Association at www.nursingworld.org where I can find more information about this career, this association
