To clarify, my dd will start around $40k ish but the growth potential is amazing and I was told by a few RN’s not to worry (somehow I got the impression surgical tech was a kind of dead end career they corrected me and told me $90k+ is very possible within a short time frame if she chooses to certify in a lot of surgical types. She could hang out in the 40-65k range or she can continually earn more I breathed a sigh of relief cuz I thought it was a $40k for the indefinite future job and I think the new generation may need significantly more than that to support themselves.
that’s the only reason I know specifics
