Honestly one of the best jobs I’ve ever had was Lab Tech, I worked in a lab where I owned the whole case from setting teeth to finishing. Such a great feeling of accomplishment when someone says I haven’t wanted to smile in years and now I can. I ended up having to find a job with better benefits, but I think about how much I loved helping people and would go back in an instant if I could support myself with that job again.

I'm so glad this comment has gotten lab techs out of the woodwork! It's so cool hearing from other people in the field. I always wanted to learn the whole process, but my lab was very weird about that. The people they used to fully trained train would move on to other places with better pay, so they just stopped doing it. Kind of sucked, honestly.
