I often get the sense that I’m in the only one here doing manual labor but I’m sure there are others.

    Hands themselves stay clean, but through my gloves/gown, I’m regularly elbow-deep into blood, guts, and poop.

    Surgical technologist. It gets pretty nasty.

    Pay is kinda shit though, so I’m trying to switch over to nursing.

      Damn, I wouldn’t expect the words “surgical” and “shit pay” to go together, especially when a basic surgery gets billed at $40,000+. From what you described your day at work to involve, you deserve all the money! Especially since you’re helping people.
