My situation was very strange, i was fired before I was even hired. I graduated, was applying to medical schools and looking for work at the same time. I went to many interviews, i was almost hired at a lab, the guy was positive he wanted me to work there. I told him I was applying to medical schools but I couldn't get in last year so I don't know about this year either. He was ok with it. The day after I got an acceptance, I called him and told him I am going to medical school in august of 2008 (stupid move I guess). I don't know what happened, he just told me, he doesn't want someone who is just going leave after 9 months, he was looking for someone who will stick with the lab for a while and told me that he wants to look elsewhere.
At another job interview, the professor asked me what I wanted to do in the long term. I told her I wanted to be a physician, she said that she doesn't want someone who has an attitude "Oh , I don't care about experiments because I am going to be a doctor anyway" . I told her, that is not what I meant, and I am a very hardworking individual who is willing to give my best.
She didn't really believe me, she told me , she will call but I haven't heard from her since and its been months.
My father told me that I cannot mention that I am going to medical school in the future, but I can't do that, that would be very unethical, I dont' want to cheat anyone. I am now willing to work for little or no money, but we will see how that works out.
