Rachel’s Answer

Try becoming a surgical technician or a first assist. These people are highly skilled at working in the operating room and did not have to complete much higher education after high school.

Estelle’s Answer

Lots of people become physician assistants then train as surgical assistants. This is a great field, and good surgical assistants make surgery safer and faster. If you want less responsibility, then becoming a scrub tech is a quicker path to employment.
