The starting salary for medical lab techs vary from state to state, national regions, regions within a state. It also depends on if you hold a Bachelors or Associates degree. But don't get fooled the pay is not comparable degree wise to nurses that hold the same degrees. I started making $10.83/hr at a small mid-sized hospital. I was rather disappointed at first, but now I work for another facility in a somewhat larger city making $14.54/hr + $2/hr shift diff on nights, that is with 3yrs experience. I am currently working on my BS degree which will increase my pay a great deal. BTW I live in SETX in a small metro area. Jobs in Houston a larger city would pay twice what they pay here or close to it. It also depends on what your interest are. I love laboratory medicine and hope that one day it becomes a more respectable and acknowledged profession. My advice to anyone wanting to be a tech, is to go for the Bachelors don't bother with the Associates Degree.
