Anyone here a Radiology Technician?

Thinking about a career change and just looking to get an idea about the field and what to expect. A lot of fields have changed drastically since about 2008 specifically my current field of IT. Salaries have gone down and expected time at work has gone up. Thanks folks.

I was one but now disabled. I was actually a Radiology Technician and a Radiation Therapy Technician. Was working in both when I quit because I couldn't stand on my feet all day anymore.

The field has changed quite a bit since I went to school. I went to a hospital based program but now they are all gone. Now you can go for specific programs. Like just Chest, CAT scans, MRI, ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine etc. Everything is now computerized and digital. Especially in Xray! Its a good career but I know the new technology has had a negative impact on techs and jobs. I know a young girl who graduated last year and still cannot find a job. So do your research.

Any other questions feel free to PM me.
