New Actually, for lab automation, most likely use something like
LabView, which is graphical programming.

I'm pretty sure there are companies that specialize in lab (bio and chemical) automation -- you might want to try searching. However, it's far enough away from my area that I don't know of any companies.

If you work to get through college, you might want to consider working for an automation distributor (e.g. some in the Bay Area are Automation Solutions and Western Technology Marketing), component company (e.g. IDEC, IDC, Parker Compumotor, PacSci, Emerson Electric, Adept, etc), or equivalent biotech company. The advantage is that you'd get to know a lot of people at various companies that use the stuff. And, at least sometimes App Engineers are well paid, although "well" doesn't go as far in the Bay Area.

Good luck,

Tony

New re: LabView
I worked for a place that used Labview. I did not use it myself, but most associates did.

The company kept shrinking, however. I don't know what the owners/managers kept doing wrong, but they could not fix the company. (Perhaps their error was hiring an OOP hater?)

Every 3-4 episodes they would finally attack each other and some stupid aerial melee would begin with missed attacks inevitably shattering backdrops while direct hits only propelled the enemy into backdrops for shattering.
