What Does It Mean To Get An Associates As A Rad Tech? The Program I Am Applying To Is A 23 Month Program…?


and you end up with a certificate. I was told by the school that I can then go on to get my associates. What does that mean exactly? I mean I will have already put in almost two years.
I also have some general studies finished at a university. (psychology, sociology, English 104 and English 210,philosophy, biology, anatomy and physiology, and college level algebra).
Would getting the associates make a difference in salary?

    4 years is required by colleges or training institutions in order to obtain an Associate Degree. A Rad Tech is a Radiology Technician, take x-rays and stuff. I would go for it, they get paid very well and you meet some interesting people. If you get an Associate you will have extra training and possibly get into the more difficult types of tech, much more money involved with an Associate Degree. If you want to be sure call a representative at a hospital or talk with someone in the field and ask them what they think.
    Good luck hun.
