Im really trying to employed in the research field but I have 0 experience what so ever. I seen a opening for a "Laboratory Helper" that states no job experience and 8th grade education. Im assuming Ill be taking a major pay cut if I take this job. Will this be a great step toward becoming a research tech or something (good for med school app.)or just a waste of time. What pay would they most likely pay? These are the duties from the site (UTSW) Thanks to all who answer..🙂
