Rad Therapy. Currently, there is not too many jobs for Nuc Med and MRI. Rad Therapist also get more money than the rest. Ultrasound is in demand now, but don’t get as much as Rad Therapist.

I want to go to school for one of these professions. Im 38 yrs old and wanted opinions on each and the amount of schooling needed. Im looking for a secure career that will pay well

I have been searching for programs here in LA regarding limited xray so I can just sit for the ARRT exams. So far I found one but it does not start till Feb 2010. Anybody know how to further the MRI career? What other certs can I take so that I’m advance in terms of skills? So far, nobody is really moving around for MR techs due to the economy.

What courses do you have to take in college to get accepted into the x-ray/MRI training program? How difficult is the training? and how hard is it to find a job after you’re finished?
Thanks in advance.

i live in southern cali and am looking into going to school at west coast ultrasound institute for either ultrasound or MRI. is it true if that if u go to school only for MRI then u can only get a job at an image center not a hospital?

Well, you can stumble into it by taking every job that is offered to you, and eventually landing in the right spot – if you’re lucky.
OR, you could take the time to figure out what it is that you really enjoy doing – everyone is different.
There are several online services that can help you, and the RileyGuide has a collection of them at http://www.rileyguide.com/assess.html
You can also read the classic career book, “What Color Is Your Parachute.” Buy or borrow it – it’s updated every year (2007 is out now), but every edition is useful. Your local library probably has it available.
Once you’ve figured out what you want to do, look around at who is hiring people to do that. It may be the store on the corner or your city’s government.
Put together a list of potential employers. Then, call them up to ask how you get a job there. It may be through the Website, coming in and completing an application, etc.
Do what ever the “official” process for getting a job is, and also look for people you know (or for people who know people you know) who work for those employers and ask them for advice and help. Employers often have an “employee referral program” which rewards existing employees for bringing in the resume or for recommending someone for a job.
In the interview process, remember that it’s a 2-way street. Do you like them? Does it seem like a place you would enjoy working? Does it seem like a job you would enjoy doing?
Go for it – carefully. If you pick that job carefully, you’ll have a better chance of enjoying it.

I am unable to decide whether I should enroll in the MRI Tech program or the Echo Sonography (Ultrasound of the heart) program. It is my understanding that the MRI Tech guidelines have recently changed and you no longer have to be certified in Radiology before you can become an MRI Tech. You can just take an MRI Tech program and sit for the ARMRIT exam. Will it be difficult for me to find employment because most employers are going to want me to be able to not only do MRI’s but also X-Rays? Or will I be able to make a decent living ($30+ per hr) as an MRI Tech here in CA without having any Radiology experience?
What about going the Sonography route? Should I do that instead? Will I have better luck having a hospital hire me? Are there more jobs in ultrasound available than in MRI?
Thanks!

ohhh please lemme know if u work in that field!
