Salary: $26,000-$41,000

Education: Students wanting to become Monitor Surveillance Technicians should take math, science, and computer technology courses in high school. 

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I would't mind being a monitor surveillance technician but it looks like it might get boring at one point just looking at the screens.
