Duties and Responsibilities:

Operating room technicians can also be called surgical technicians. They help set up operating rooms for surgery. They prepare the stuff they need like needles, bandages, fluids, etc. They assist the doctor’s by handing them the surgical instruments they need and when the operation/surgery is done the operation technician takes the patient to the recovery room.

Average Salary: $16,000 - $22,000

Educational Requirements:

A GED or high school diploma is required. Many junior colleges or vocational schools offer the operating room technician classes or you can train hospitals. It takes about a year or two for this program. Students who want this as a career must pass the examination by the association of surgical technologists to be certified. 

I wouldn't like this career only because you have to help give the doctor's equipment when in surgery and I don't really like seeing blood. I feel as if I will pass out if I do see it.
