Civilian Job Suggestions

Laboratory Assistant: Laboratory assistants handle a lot of the manual work required inside of a lab. This is an excellent position for anyone trying to enter certain scientific fields. Previous lab experience is usually a plus, and at least a high school degree or some college is preferred.

Medical Technologist: Medical technologists don't quite run the show inside of a laboratory, but they help with some autonomy. They are responsible for conducting routine tests, performing initial analyses and working under tight deadlines. They work independently.

Phlebotomist: This job requires, usually, a phlebotomy certification and the willingness to work with patients and their bodily fluids. Typical skills required include blood collection, urine drug-screen collections, and breath/saliva alcohol testing. Working as a phlebotomist can provide great experience for future careers.
