I am thinking of taking the plunge and getting a Medical Lab Science degree

But I'm scared to death that I'm not smart enough to do it. It's a field that REALLY interests me, but that's not gonna make me magically good at math, chemistry, or whatever else is required to get the degree. 😞

You can do it.

If you’re interested in it. You can do it

Better to have tried and failed than to not have tried at all?!

You never know until you try and if it interests you it will be worth it. I'm going back to school myself at 40 to become a medical assistant. I've been an exotic dancer majority my adult life. Trust me I know what it's like to not feel smart enough or good enough.

A Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) requires general prerequisite sciences (biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and statistics), for the lower level courses, followed by a specialized professional phase focusing on clinical diagnostics and a hands-on clinical practicum.

This is not pre-med, so they tend to go lighter on the lower-level courses.
