Should I become a radiology tech?

Screw pot, get that EPO after the chemo

Nursing school. Become an RN, work and go to the evening BSN program at UW Tacoma, get a master's and become an NP (lot of government jobs with this) or nurse anesthetist (good money), then you're set.

Or take a one quarter EMT course, do that for a year, do the paramedic program at the UW through Medic One or a fire station, do that for a couple years, go to the UW for physician assistant school, then you're set.

I suspect you would have a difficult time with entrance into any medically related profession with your history.

From your previous posts, you need to be with men who know how to treat you like a "real" man. The best job for a you is with the U.S. Navy.

Got my criminal record expunged. I could become a pharmacist if I wanted.

Pharmacy would be a good one.

You'll end up getting fired anyway so give it up. We know who you are and where you live. Letrun.com people all talk in hotel lobbies at marathons and track meets. Your past criminal records were public information were known and we'll let any school or employer know your past. So don't waste your time. You can always get a job at Walmart where your kind always end up.

You probably work for a gas station so STFU.

I thought you were against the medical field?

I guess if you can't beat'em might as well join'em

Actually I'm a janitor at Nike U.S.A. in Beaverton.

I'm not "against" the medical field. I just think there are some serious ideological problems in the medical arena. Radiology is not really an offender in that regard, though.

Yes.

The rad tech at the sports medicine clinic at my state university must have been in his late 60s or 70s. So at least it seems like there isn't any age discrimination. That seems like a pretty chill job. You have to be okay with touching people and moving their limbs around though.

This might be a good one for you. I was reading that Bellevue CC is now Bellevue College.

bachelor of applied science in radiation and imaging sciences

I am a Rad Tech. I went to a two year program. My wife has a 4 year degree and I make more money than her. Having said that, I cannot brag about my salary...which pays me about 23.50 per hour. I work monday thru fridays 7:30 til 3:30pm....no call and no weekends. I spend most of my time in the operating room runnning C-arm xray machines for the surgeons....primarily orthopedics and neurosurgery. You can choose to do radiography, CT scans, MRI's, or branch off into something like nuclear medicine, ultrasound, or radiation therapy. My job leaves me alot of time for running. The market is a little slow right now around here. alot of new grads are having trouble finding full time work...but I can only speak for this area. It seems like it is cyclical. I remember a few years back you could walk into any hospital and get hired on the spot. Not sure if the weak economy has anything to do with it...but it does seem that our numbers(patient volume) are down lately relative to past years.

The program isn't that difficult, but you might find it competitive to get into a program. Usually there are lots more applications than seats available. Again...I'm speaking only for our local programs. It isn't exactly a medical epicenter right here....so it may be different in larger cities with thriving medical centers like Duke, Chapel Hill, Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, Bowman Gray, etc etc.

If you have been in school for awhile and have compiled most of the basics then you might be ahead of the game with your resume'...and given a leg up on those coming out of high school.

Like I said, the school isn't that difficult. Lots of clinical time spent in a radiology department. You'll have plenty of time to run while in school and when you get out and get a job. I have found it to be very much a 'runner's friendly' profession.

you need a job where your dumbass gets to share those idiotic theories of yours with the public. no one cares what radiologists think unless they're talking about radiology. you're better off going to seminary school and becoming an am-radio preacher.

It's a long way to replying this thread any how no matter how old this is what if update information. Radiology tech are one off the most highest payed jobs in this category. The good thing about this job that when you are young and enthusiast you can hold the job on two places by adjusting the time. The average salary for radiology tech is $55,000( http://radiology-technician-salary.net/ ) which looks pretty good on the chart as compare to other professions.
