If you don't like lab work then you really don't want to consider it. However I wonder how much (and what sort of) lab work have you actually done to reach that conclusion?

I still don't get why doing lab works prevent you from "reaching people and working in teams with communication" though, doesn't make much sense to me.

I wouldn't say those lab classes during your high school/A levels are what you'd expect in the real world (for example, a high school chemistry teacher knows literally nothing about how research is done in a proper chemistry lab in the academia/industry), but the general idea is there. If you don't like it, you probably wouldn't like it.

Having said that, if the reason is because lab work is repetitive and boring, then I'd say there are many more jobs out there that are even worse. Try doing paperwork and Excel spreadsheet every day for years and see how it fares. Many people perceive surgical procedures performed by medical doctors as "challenging", yeah, try doing the same case every day (usually involving long hours) for a few years and see.

Still don't get why it prevents you from reaching out to people though.
