<prompt> Human: Hello,Let me first first give some details about me and my situation. Within the last two years I received my cellularmolecular biology bachelors degree. In that time, I accumulated 50k in debt. Private school and family makes too much for aid. Turns out the science field is pretty damn low paying until you break into management or high ranking positions that have some pretty steep requirements. Likely a response to the market being incredibly inflated with biologychemistry majors. I work for a company with Wonderful benefits and generally pays more than most entry level positions in the Chem bio environmental industry in my area southern California. I started in inorganics laboratory and within six months, based off prior experience, was promoted to research and development food division head from 14 an hour to 16. I run the entire food testing lab and help bring on new tests and analysis for the company. This equates to around 35k a year. My net take home is around 1800. My past experience: 4 years of microbiology researchassistant laboratory manager which was 15 an hour but part time. 2 years of teaching assisting. And lastly, I have 8 years of various retail experience with 5 years at one company alone. Im gaining frustration in this market and cant seem to get ahead. Several of my fellow graduates and my gf are in the exact same boat and I dont see many others complaining or bringing it to light. I am looking for advice on what I should do. Im actively seeking new employment but, as I said, the market is tough with minimal salaries. That is, until you break into management which these companies want insane qualifications for 50k to 70k a year. I love at home and dont pay rent bc I really cant. I do pay for utilities and my debt. In total I pay about 1,200 a month in bills. Not leaving much wiggle room. In short, Im 28 trying to make get to a place where I can buyrent a place with tons of debt and apparently a low paying field.  <response>: Come join us at rmedlabprofessionals the sub for Lab Techs!You can also check out this site about the career.There are lots of schools and openings for these jobs in California right now, the pay will probably start at 30hr for you.
