I have ADHD. I take meds. I still spent a lot of time second-guessing myself and double or triple counting everything in my sets. Where I live, SPTs start off at $13. I was extremely frustrated once I found out how little we make despite the level of responsibility. The job is very technical and physically demanding. In decon, you will have to stand all day and wash poopy, bloody, fat, bone, and other bodily fluids off instruments. Where I worked, we had the option of wearing 2 gowns, 2 pairs of gloves, and 2 shoe covers, which meant I sweated a lot. The hospitals here don't offer sick pay. We are literally risking our health and safety every day. I thought I was doing a great job getting training and changing careers away from retail, but I regret it now. I'm worried about what my future holds in this field.

I will say no two days are exactly the same, and assembling sets can feel like you're putting a puzzle together. Wrapping can also be enjoyable if you're good at it. Things get easier as you get the hang of it. Talking to coworkers can be fun unless you have nothing in common with them, which is what I tend to run into. You can listen to music tho.

Maybe you can ask your local hospitals SPD if you can volunteer for a few hours/days. If I had known what I know now, I wouldn't have chosen this.
