[QUOTE="awhurst011, post: 226255, member: 14988"] After graduating from USC with a bachelors degree in music I didnt know what I wanted to do for a career. So with no ideas on what to do after applying for job after job with any company i found I asked my Dad ( a dentist) to see if the lab that did work for him needed any help. The agreed to take me in and started teaching me things. This was a 2 person lab. One guy handled the removable side the other did fixed. I started out doing pickups and deliveries, polishing, pouring models, denture wax ups and observing as much as possible. After getting some knowledge and skills in the lab I went to work for a larger lab in my state that only did removable. There I learned alot about running a lab, Processing acrylics and finishing dentures and partials. After my wife and I found out we were expecting we decided to move back closer to our family. The lab that I started at lost one of their techs and asked that I come back. Now I handle a little bit of everything. The other tech and myself both tag team removable and fixed. I handle all the CAD/CAM stuff. My story isnt as long as others but I have a long way to go in this field. I think its amazing to look at where I started and compare it to where I am now. The lab industry has done so much for me and my family and I look forward to many years of being in this field. [/QUOTE]
