Work during academic year

I'm working in business right now but plan to attend HES in the Fall. I'd like to switch jobs to something that's 9-5 and something related to medicine.

I don't have much science background right now, so it's going to be tough for me to find a job in a lab. Any ideas on where I should look? Thanks.

You should probably be posting this in the official HES thread so more of our eyes can see it. Being a full time employee myself while also in HES, I can tell you the biggest challenge will not be finding a job, but rather keeping up with the coursework (if you plan on taking 2 or more classes) and working 9-5 at the same time. It is virtually impossible. There may be 1 or 2 exceptional people who can do this in a class of 300, but it is certainly not the norm.

Sorry about that - it's my first day, and I'm oblivious to posting etiquette.

So if say, I were to want a job, where should I be looking? And do most HES students just do school full time?
