Are you interested in the medical field? Do you like to help people? Are you not afraid of blood or injections? Then being a Phlebotomist is a good career option for you.

A Phlebotomist is really a good option if you are interested in the human body and its diseases. Being a doctor is a really famous thing because everyone wants to be a doctor, but there are many other options available as well.

You just need to analyze it and do research on it. There are many mediocre students who want to join the medical field, but not as doctors. Although the majority of Asian parents want their children to be doctors, honestly, it is next to impossible.

If you are a mediocre student and you want to join the medical or healthcare line, then only doctors or nurses are options. There are ample opportunities for you to grow in the future.

Medical school is really tough. If you want to be a doctor, you have to pursue 12th-grade PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Math, and Biology). Then, after the boards, you have to clear the NEET exam. NEET is a very tough exam to crack. After becoming a NEET, you have to choose your preferred college.

You have to invest a lot of money during your five years of MBBS. After completing your MBBS, you have to be an intern at some hospital. Basically, if I say that doctoring is a very lengthy process, a doctor needs at least 10 years to establish himself properly.

Age-old lawyers, doctors, and wines are amazing.

So, MBBS is a time-consuming process, but if you don’t want to waste your time or don’t have that much time on your hands, then a Phlebotomist is a good choice. You are not exactly like a doctor, but you can be someone who will work for human life.

Diksha is a 12^th-grade student. Recently, she passed out. She is not so good at her studies, but she wants to join the healthcare field. Her family is a middle-class family that will do anything to make their daughter prosperous.

She wants to be a doctor, but she realized that in medicine, there is a huge syllabus, and she can’t complete it. She understands that if she takes medication, she will be depressed. But she wants to help people. So she is confused. One day her sister came home from college, and she told her the problem. Her sister understood the problem and immediately started her research on her question.

After some time, she finds an option on the internet that will be appropriate for her sister. She calls Diksha and advises her to be a Phlebotomist.

Diksha was very excited to hear this term for the first time. She thinks that her sister is making fun of her.

But the reality is different; Diksha’s elder sister then carefully makes her understand phlebotomists.

A Phlebotomist’s career is an uncommon one to choose. But it is really a good course for flourishing in the future. You may not understand, but it is really a unique way to make money.
