we all work in labs. sorry son.. but thats the 9 to 5 world. some people call a lab an office, some a garage, some a shop, some a forest.. its all labor, in laboratories
it means, expand your imagination beyond a clinical environment filled with bubbling test tubes and microscopes. everyone works in a lab. call it an excercise in lateral thinking
Semantically correct - a 'laboratory' being merely a 'workplace'. However, in the sense of the original posting, it's less than helpful. I think what was intended was a workplace set up specifically to advance knowledge. Never confuse lateral thinking with woolly thinking. Ron.
Yeah I'm a science major too. But I don't dream about working in a lab, I dream of sitting on a beach with a corona bottle and throwing my cell phone in the ocean. But as far as working in a lab talk to heads of deptment, most professors look for undergrads to help with research. Or go to hospitals or chemical plants or any of those places. Sometimes it just throwing around a resume until you get lucky.
