I graduated two years ago with a BA in psychology. While in school, I didn't have career plans or anything and didn't even plan on using my degree (was just there for my parents) so I didn't get any research experience. Now I want to use my degree and wish I had worked toward something in school. I was looking at psychology research/lab assistant jobs and they at least require knowledge of lab protocols, which I am not familiar with. How do I go about getting the experience that I missed out on? I was thinking of taking lab assistant classes at my local community college. Should I do that or would it be better to just volunteer in a lab at a local school (I don't live near the school I graduated from anymore)? Would they let me volunteer even though I am not a student?
