There seems to be some people in these forums (or just trolls) who really don't appreciate being a rep, or really make light of the career as if we are useless. I recently started as an ASR in spine and I think its the best job I've ever had! Its way better than my last 2 jobs, and it sure as hell beats actually working in medicine. I'm only an ASR so I'm not making anything close to big bucks but I'm just happy about the lifestyle, people I work with, and the cool hardware! I read somewhere on here we are "glorified caterers" or "glorified box openers". Yes that can be said but can't you belittle any job? I know a bunch of ER docs who think they either treat people so sick they will die anyways, or people who don't even need to be in an ER at all. They constantly ask themselves why they went to med school.
Also, reps here and some OR staff can talk about how "we don't do anything" but how many times has a case gotten bumped to an earlier, OR staff didn't notify us, and now were getting calls from frantic OR staff asking where we are because they want to start. Not to mention when we actually get into the OR you can feel the tension dissipate because we are there to support the OR staff.
So yea I might be new, yea I might be young, and yeaaaa the reimbursement isn't as good as it was "back in the day" but are you really complaining about several hundred K per year and how that "isn't enough". If you really aren't happy then stop posting on this forum and retire or get a new job because there are ASRs like me that will we be waiting with a fork and knife while salivating staring down your territory. I love my fellow stryker boys (and girls), but shouldn't we be more thankful for what we have? And most importantly, business is business. This applies to all you pleb synthes, medtronic, zimmer, or other reps reading this as well.
