What is the difference between a ragiologist and a radiation therapist? I don't mean education wise, but more of what they do.

Yep, Radiologist is easier I heard. You just have to know how to read X-rays right or else you might give your client the wrong information which could lead them the wrong way.

A radiologist is specifically trained physician (MD or DO) that reads multiple types of diagnostic images although some may prefer to read only certain type such as x-ray, mri, cat scans, ultrasound etc. They can also perform fluoroscopic exams and many other things.
I don't where the poster above me heard that Radiologist is easier than a Radiation Therapist. Radiologist is doctor that has specialized beyond just medical school and residency. Radiation Therapist have bachelor's degree and still must follow a physician's orders. A radiologist can act on their own since they are licensed.
