What can I do after phlebotomy?

So lately I've been taking an interest in getting a career certificate in Phlebotomy. I think I'd be able to handle it, I've never been squeemish around blood plus the pay is pretty good. I know I'd eventually want to get a bachelors degree in something, but I'm also ready to have a real job and do something meaningful all day. Right now I go to a community college doing basic classes, and before I had never really even considered a medical career at all. I was just wondering what kind of career advancement phlebotomy has. Eventually I would need to move away and to a city for University anywah, so even if I don't continue down the medical path way at least I'd be able to support myself while finishing my degree with it.

    That is certainly excellent training for either a RN or a doc or para doc like an APRN or Physician's Asst.

    Also, once you have enough good sticks under your belt (most work at plasma centers for experience reasons) - you could stay as a phlebotomist and get a good job as one at a hospital.
