I agree, "the people" are truly one of the best parts of the career, on top of helping people in need, the field is filled with a surprising amount of interesting, intelligent, and passionate professionals.
I wouldn’t mind this job. I would actually rather do this than work directly with the public listening to someone screaming in my ear all day or as usual complaining
I agree, this is the perfect job for me because of no human contact. I've watch videos of some people who work at night and alone in a peaceful environment. I'm a loner by nature so this job is perfect for me.
As a certified sterile processing technician i have to say that you still get people screaming in your ear. Just instead of the general public it's nurses scrub techs and even the surgeon themselves. That being said i still love what I do and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else.
@lolaWWEWWFpunk Very tedious and alot of sitting. I'm always moving in my new position. I even lost some weight with all the walking. I gave up my gym membership Lol
@@diegofonseca6708ditto , I used to work as a sterile technician in the biotech field and applied for a sterilization tech position at a local hospital
In some areas, ... SoCal for instance: Big Hospitals > $36-48/hr ($75-100k plus a lot of OT) Smaller Outpatient centers > $27-35/hr ($55k- 72k a little OT)
There's a lot of different programs available for this job please take a look at your local community college if you're in the US. There's so much room for growth also, you can stay in the SPD and move up to Lead, Supervisor, Manager and even Director. Or move on to Surgical Technologist through a follow-on course then another exam. There's also specialties such as CVOR Tech, Anesthesia Tech, Surgical First Assist. In the more advanced positions the money is great, challenging certainly but so rewarding. Please let me know if you have further questions.
Oh yeah definitely and if you'll get into either travel or advanced positions (Lead, Supervisor, Manager and Director) it's all into the 6-figures. Awesome career field that's so underrated.

For me the most challenging part was learning all the different instruments. Google was my best friend also the certification test was no joke.
Did you pass and did you apply for work? I hope everything works out for you. I'm planning on going into this career path.
@lolaWWEWWFpunk I didn't pass but was asked to retake. I decided not and found a job in the OR as a UST tech in the same hospital.
