I don't want to become a surgeon but I'd like to work in the OR. So would becoming a Surgical Technician be a good idea? I suppose I would be able to get a job anywhere?
I'd find some scrub techs and ask them their opinion of the job. I think it's a pretty neat job, and people who do their job well are great assets in the OR.
A good career? Not really. It's something you can do when you're young, but career path offers limited room for advancement. Salary isn't great and ceiling is low.
You also could become an RN and be a circulator in the OR, or become a surgical assistant (requires surg tech degree first I believe) to work in an OR.
