re: Any rad techs?

MBA holding Rad Tech here. 20+ years in the industry. Published journal author and industry representative. Before leaving the industry I managed 200+ employees at a nationally ranked healthcare system.

Pros - You’ll be hard pressed to find a job that pays as well with only two years of education at a community college.

Cons - you can’t stop at two years, gotta specialize and get that BS if you truly wanna move up or have advancement opportunities.

On-Call pays well; but, only if you are in a sleepy town where call backs are infrequent. Otherwise it’s a living hell. The top end of the spectrum is $80-100K. Maybe more in high cost of living cities in the Northeast or West Coast. Wanna travel to cover maternity leave or live on a compound in Qatar? That pays well too.
