I am going to go to school to be an X-Ray Tech. I am going to have to quit my full time job to do so because the classes are only during the day. I am going to have to find a part time job because I have bills to pay. Do hospitals let you work in the radiology dept why you are still in school? I’m also hoping I can get loans to help me so I can have some extra money… Worried!
Tech is easier and faster but long term, nursing will make you anywhere from 50% to 75% more money in your life time.
Radiology is my dream career, but many ppl say that it causes cancer, is that true?
I asked this ? b4, but I thought I change the title + add some stuff
My friend is thinking of radiology career, but not exactly sure how to achieve her goal. She wants to go to a Cal State, which Cal would have the best programs?
She’s still in High School, and is thinking of all school but would prefer a Cal State.
any help would be appreciated =]
I’m starting college in September to persue a career in Radiology. What classes should I be taking to obtain these Licenses? If you work in Radiology, how did you start out?
Was going for Nursing, but heard about the “turn away of students due to lack of teachers” so Ive been considering Rad Tech program while finishing up on pre-reqs at school. Whats the average SALARY for a Rad Tech? How much COMPETITION is there out there for this type of job?
I am enrolled in a tech school but the rad program is very hard to get into. I have heard of schools that you automatically get into the rad program but they are more expensive. Any idea of where I can get a list of these schools or programs? Thanks
Was thinking of going to school for Rad Tech and am wondering what the job market is like for this occupation. I have reviewed the Labor Statistics site already, but I am hearing that the job market for RT isnt too strong since there are so many new graduates and not enough work…. TRUE??
I am going back to school this summer, but really havent decided a career. i am 26 with 2 kids and 2 stepkids, going to school for a low paying job is not realistic for me. I have to concider daycare being so expensive, and with local schools, I dont have alot to choose from. I never would of thought about radiology but now it’s what i’ve got my heart set on. What exactly does this career involve. I like hands on jobs, I couldnt imagine sitting all day doing the exact same thing over and over. Another thing is I can’t stand difficult math, (calculus, hard algebra) is this something I would have to do everyday? Please respond if this is the path you have chosen and let me know anything and everything about your job! Thanks so much!
