Work in this field
Hey, James P from Ohio, what part of Ohio you from? I graduated from Cuyahoga Community College with an A.A.S in Biomedical Equipment in 1994. I worked for a temp company and was in charge of the following hospitals:Hillcrest, Euclid and Huron which is own now by Cleveland Clinic. The job wasn't that bad except for Hillcrest due to it being a heart hospital. The doctors in that hospital can be very nasty to you.
` I worked for six month and got laid off. Its a great field, but you have to good customer service skills. Some people can be very nasty when equipment breaks down. I also did an internship too.

if you like stress, being over worked, never seeing your family and missing all the important events in your life then go for it. they never tell you what it's really like so you have to see if for youself.

good luck with the job search...
since i graduated this pass spring, I had 4 interviews with 4 diferent hospitals and since I have no experience it's hard to find a hospital that would take me in.... I only had all those interviews because they are out of the state, no luck in ohio!

Dis agree with this
I have worked in this field for over 20 years. I am currently unemployed. Think about your mp3 player, it has a receiver amplifier lcd screen and storage. When it breaks do you bother to fix it? Medical equipment is the same way. Blood gas analyzers, EKG machines, bp monitors are similar in size to Ipods, the calibrations are all down by software and if they break , you send them out to a specialized facility to be repaired. Run a job search for Biomedical technician on jobs.com and in the entire U.S there are 44 listings. only 1/2 of those are true biomedical technicians . run a job search for collection agent and there will be thousands listed. That's where the jobs are.
