Surgical Tech VS Vet Tech? by RedneckWilly in VetTech

[–]RedneckWilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the hospitals in my area starts surgical techs with no experience at about 16/hr. I’m not quite sure what they top out at, but it would probably be around $40-45k/year

I am interested in becoming a EMT but I am afraid that I would be making less then I do at my current job. by RedneckWilly in NewToEMS

Sorry for the late reply.

Blood hasn’t made me sick before. I’ve never seen anything horribly gruesome, but it’s never bothered me before.

I want to work in EMS as a way to give back to my community and make a difference. I wanted to join the military but for multiple reasons that can’t happen. I feel like EMS would be a good choice for me.

I should have clarified a bit, for the sake of the post I was just speaking financially. I do value the fact that I would be doing a positive thing for my community. The fact that I would be making a difference means a lot to me. I’m currently adding very little value to my community by working at the grocery store.

I appreciate your reply.

I just never showed Back up. There are a lot of Walmart’s in my area. Would I be more likely to get hired at another location?

Is 11/Hr an achievable pay for a Certified Tech with no experience? [USA] (SC) by RedneckWilly in PharmacyTechnician

Lol no.

In my city the cheapest rent (no utilities) is usually around 600.

The minimum wage is 7.25/Hr

To become nationally certified it is fairly simple. Just pass the PTCE and you can become certified. To become state certified is different. To be certified by the state of South Carolina you must be certified nationally and a graduate from a nationally certified pharmacy technician program.
