Choose Your Own Career: Medical Laboratory Technician

The easier path effectively means you live and work in any state that does require possessing a medical laboratory license. Some states might have more regulation than others and some labs might be more particular about the credentials and licensing of their staff.

With your BS in Biology in these 'unlicensed states' you may very well be able to apply directly to the lab and get hired. Of course the law of supply and demand is not to be discounted.

Take a look at this spreadsheet and copy it if you like. You will see which states are licensed, state population, estimated number of genetic and medical labs.
