| It seems as though you seek to be promoted. I have found it to be the other
way around in which individuals are sought out by management for promotion.
If they like you then they will seek you out. There are many people who want
to be promoted because they want to be promoted and management looks the
other way.
If you develop your interpersonal skills and technical skills then that will
fall into place.
Many individuals who have been working for years have no intention on
seeking promotions. Many people have no interest in becoming managers. Once
you leave the bench and become a paper pusher then you become removed from
what attracted you into the field in the first place.
If you want to have an office full of binders and polish a few chairs at
hospital meetings then go for it. Get an MBA at one of those diploma mills
nite schools. A MS or PhD is a waste of time as you don't need it to be a
lab manager. Most of those don't work in hospitals. It's too expensive to
have many of those around. If I had a PhD, no way in hell I would work in a
hospital lab.
Long story short is there are not many advanced positions in the medical lab
field that are worth a lot of money.
