I am retiring and going to school to become a surgical tech. How is the market for surgical techs?

I have worked the same job for almost 29 years and am changing over to something entirely new. Is surgical tech a very stressful job? I am an animal control deputy now, and am so stressed from it, I have to get away from it. Also is the pay halfway decent?

1. I am a RN and don't work in the OR in philadelphia. I know that there is a glut of OR techs and not enough RN's in this area. I all depends on the area that you live. I am not sure if asking the school will help because I am sure they will tell you that everything is great
2. good money
