A: Surgical Tech major.
Q: Where do you go to school? What year are you in?

Q: Why a Surgical Tech and not actual Medicine?
A: Because I love surgery. Surgical techs tend to be underestimated (like many other medical staff members), but the amount of responsibility they have is incredible. There’s so much they do, people don’t really know about it. Hell, I didn’t know about it until I got into school. However, my main goal is to become a cardiac perfusionist, but in order to do that, I need a major in surgical technology. Also, I still haven’t entirely giving up on becoming a doctor, but we’ll see how things go. You can read about a surgical technologist’s job here.
