Duties and Responsibilities: An electrocardiogram technician performs an ECG by attaching electrodes to a patient and then pulling switches on an ECG machine to trace electrical impulses transmitted by the heart. A doctor then inspects these readings to analyze the patient's heart condition.

Salary: $30,104 a year

Education: Some requirements are a certificate or associate's degree in cardiovascular technology.

 

I would not like to be an electrocardiograph technician because I would not like to go to work on the weekends and I think they don’t get paid enough for what they do.
