Being a Lab Technician is a really important job where you get to help scientists and researchers with their exciting work in a laboratory. Imagine a lab full of interesting equipment, chemicals, and samples. Your job would be to make sure everything runs smoothly and safely. This could mean preparing experiments, making sure all the equipment is clean and working properly, and accurately recording results. You might be measuring liquids, weighing powders, or setting up microscopes to look at tiny things. Lab Technicians work in many different places. You could be in a hospital lab helping to test patient samples, in a university lab assisting with groundbreaking research, or in a factory lab checking the quality of products like food or medicines. It is a very hands-on role where you need to be precise, organised, and good at following instructions. Safety is super important, so you will always wear protective gear like lab coats and goggles. It is a brilliant career if you love science and want to be part of discovering new things and making a real difference.
