it is a good job, nearly my whole family are rad. techs, im in school for it w/ only a year left. starting salary is around 30-40k a year What degree are you going for associates or BS ??my cousin is head of radiology at a hospital on this side of town and has been taking x-rays for over 20 yrs. its a good field too for expansion into diff. fields also known as modalities (sp) like CT scans, ultrasounds, sonography, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine (<-----they make the money) some of these require extra school but others u can do training for while ur attending school for radiography (x-rays). if i was unclear on anything or u have anymore questions feel free to ask and if i dont know theanswer i can ask

EDIT: just saw what ADMIN wrote and as far as the PA he is 100% correct. i would love to have that job. thinking about continuing school after my next year just for that.
