In 2002, the lowest 10 percent of surgical technicians earned less than $21,020, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The highest 10 percent earned more than $43,470. The current expected median surgical tech salary is $35,122, reports Salary.com. The Association of Surgical Technologists reports that its members' average hourly pay is $13 to $18, nationally.
The only part I can answer is the pay part. I don't know how much they make, but if it is $17 an hour, most x-ray techs make more than that. I know in my small community hospital the pay is about $18-20 an hour and at the bigger ones they start you out at $22/hr.
