In Reply To: Hi,I see most of this board is for physicians but I already have a B.S. in Business and can't stand what I am doing so.....I was thinking of going back to be a Radiography Tech. I know it is not much money but how is the job overall? Any other job suggestions?
Message: Whatever you do please do not waste your time going to Rad Tech School. There is no money involved. And you get no respect from the physician's you will be working with. It is a horrible, nasty, dirty job. Do anything but this. I did it but fortunately I was able to go into business with a Radiologist. We opened an MRI Facility and I'm making a shitload of money -- And I mean a shitload --- 300-400k a year. This does not happen to many Tech's. I was just lucky. I was a Rad Tech for 3 years and decided to go for my MBA. I'm just finishing it up and now I don't need it.
