Wages of A Dallas Area Surgical Technician

Another reward for becoming a Surgical Technician besides helping to save lives, is the wages you earn. A DFW area surgical tech can earn an average of around $42,870 per year. This is an exceptionally good salary considering the Dallas metro area also employs the fourth largest number of surgical techs in America.

The wages will vary from small hospitals and health centers to larger ones in large cities. The wages are nearly always higher in large city hospitals. Dallas, Texas is one good example. Cities like Dallas have more than one large hospital so there will be a need for more than one Surgical Technician. Of course if you prefer the small town life you can also commute to a large city like Dallas, or take a job in a small town hospital.
