Bottom line, you won't find someone fresh out of school with a 2 year degree working on MRI. Hell, even with my 2 degrees and certifications, and 10+ years experience, they are still putting me through another year of school while working.
what's your degree in?

100% incorrect. Many MRI engineers actually have a 4 year engineering degree. It's not required
So correct, doesn't require a four year degree.

MRI Tech and CT Tech, look those positions up. Those are the techs you see who actually perform the scan
Don't need to look them up. Have been both at past jobs. Many of them have four year degrees also even though it isn't required.

No on said you would. Each job usually trains for specific equipment that changes so "schools" for each equipment certification is normal.

Also just spoke with the owner. He apologized for not getting me the offer yet and promised I'd get it today.

You're a medical tech, not an engineer. Use proper verbage.

A lot of it is focused around safety. You're working with high voltage, a magnet that's FAR stronger than most people can comprehend, and liquid helium in a vacuum that can explode if not handled correctly.
Damn. If I'm ever in a hospital with equipment designed/implemented/maintained by you, I hope you learned your multiplication tables or whatever.

Search for a medical tech and see what their job description is. Nowhere near what I do.
You have no idea what all the job entails, there's a reason engineer is in the title. There's also a reason my job title has had engineer in it for the last 10 years.

I have a degree in electronics technology and another in IT.
Posted on 9/15/15 at 5:11 pm to Austin Cajun

So no degree in engineering.

So I interview for a job a while back that would be a big career jump for me. It's the position I set my sights on a long time ago.
Well time goes by and I stay in contact with the owner of the company. He tells me the position is mine and to hold tight because he wants to hire one other person just before me to help with training. Ok, a couple of months go by and we still keep in contact every couple of weeks. Well last week he called and asked if I was ready and that he needs me in Baltimore on the 28th.
Sure thing, I'm ready. He says good and he'll get me an offer letter and we can take things for on there. That was on Tuesday. By Thursday I still have no offer letter. He's texting me about some other things and I casually mention that I need the offer so I can give a proper 2 weeks notice. He said he's getting his secretary right on it. It's now end of Monday and I still don't have the letter. At this point I'm getting pretty pissed because it's drug out so long. On top of that, I've made arrangements to ensure everything is taken care of with my kid if I'm going out of town for him and he knows that.
In your future communications with him, and more importantly, with me:
It doesn't matter when, but after you type 20-30 words, wiggle your right pinky on that "return" button.
This will make it easier for me absorb and feel your pain. Your future boss sounds like an arse. If you're going to be reporting directly to him, good freaking luck.
But also ask yourself, would this move be a good stepping stone to the next job, or not?

Again,
You're no engineer. Hahahaha.
You're no engineer. Hahahaha.

Contrary to what some believe, you can still be an engineer without a engineering degree
Meh, not really. If you offer your services to the public and call yourself an engineer, then you need a PE license, by law. If you're a mechanic on high tech equipment, your employer may call you an engineer, because that sounds more marketable, but you're not really an engineer.

I'm a EE and this guy saying he's an Engineer is fricking ridiculous. He's nothing more than a medical dosemitrist. A tech, non the less.
Posted on 9/15/15 at 6:42 pm to Breauxsif
Like "mud engineers" in the oil field
Posted on 9/15/15 at 7:35 pm to Breauxsif
Haha. Good job Mr. EE, you just showed everyone how ignorant you are. You have no fricking clue what dosemitry is. MRI doesn't even use radiation.
May want to go back to school, your degree is failing you.
Besides, if a company the size of freaking Philips and GE are interviewing and offering me engineering positions, why would I give a shite what you think.
I'm pretty sure GE knows what an engineer is and isn't.

Philips opened a division for this a few years back. They hired their team, got contracts and went to work. It lasted about 6 months and the department was closed down.
I know a guy that went to work for them as a "mechanic". He had many years of experience and is an EE. It took him about two days to get another gig.

GE got to be GE by taking people like you and sending them to school and then charging god knows what for your services while calling you "Engineers".
Halliburton, Schlumberger, and Baker do the same thing in the oilfield.
You're a technician.
Posted on 9/15/15 at 9:34 pm to AndyCBR
So by your logic, the guys I'm working with who have their EE, doing the same job as me with the same title and pay, also aren't engineers. I beg to differ and so would anyone else who is familiar with this job.
