<prompt> Human: Hi Reddit, A bit of background: Im a 24F. I majored in Biology was clear on going to grad school for Clinical Lab Science and spent an extra year to finish prerequisites back in college, and got a job offer before I graduated as an entry-level data analyst at a software company making 60k salaried. Current Situation: The next step of this job would be either a projectproduct manager or maybe a softwaredata engineer, but I dont see myself doing any of that. I realized I dont like programming. Ive looked at other roles, but I dont see any that are low stress and make good money. Recently, my friend reached out that her lab is hiring, but I would be taking a pay cut as their pay is 20hr 41k but this aligns with what I prepared myself for during college as it is a lab tech job thatll help me get into Clinical Lab Science a clear, stable job path and is a one-year program. You can make 100k right after you graduate. Im applying to lab grad programs right now, but not confident that Ill get in as Ive been working in this software company. I think a part of me is unsure of lab science, but it is a stable career. I know Im the type of person that likes stability in my life craving some stability rn so Im troubled as to what to do. Lab science isnt a dream career, but I can see myself doing it for a long while also compensates well. TLDR; Majored in biology to go to grad school. Received tech job before graduating so didnt continue with grad schoolbiotech route lab job. Not sure if I should take lab job so I can continue grad school path and make secure salary in the future. Not sure what to do with current job. Thanks for reading! Any advice is appreciated.Edit: Sorry for grammar issues in the question. Im not sure how to edit that.  <response>: My 2c. Dont continue down the path of a job you dont 1 like and 2 see yourself doing long-term. Take the pay cut, finish that 1-year program, and make the good money later along with being on the path that makes more sense.Good luck whatever you do!
