Count me in the 50's group looking for something different! I would think there would be more to the process of sterilizing surgical equipment than most people realize. Sounds like it's right up your alley and you are happy with the decision you made - good for you. I'm also glad someone is in the wings to pick you up and hire you right away. That would have been frustrating studying for 18 months and then not being considered because you did not have the exprience. I also think working in surgery with a Doctor would be super stressful. I've always been very grateful to all medical personnel who care for me, so I admire the work you've done during your life.

I started out as an Accountant for 6 years after college. Then I got bit by the computer/PC/technology bug and went into consulting for a software company and later was in outside sales. I've been pretty much in sales ever since. Sales can be super stressful with the monthly quotas and high pressure. It can also be very lucrative, but that was when I was much younger and could travel all over the country. I always thought I might enjoy a medical sales career in surgical equipment. So I realize a little about all the training you are going through - it's not a simple process learning and understanding all of the surgical equipment, so kudos to you. I will probably start exploring some options this summer and see what it will take to get me the job I want by the end of the year. See you in Darkwood! ~  Llyssa
