Hi everyone!
I am currently taking my pre-reqs for radiology school. I have gone back and forth deciding between x-ray and nursing (as I can see many have also been conflicted with this decision in the past). I personally feel pulled towards to radiology. My question is— In reality, how was the job market when you were an entry level tech? I have been surfing through various hospitals career sites to get an idea of life after school, but seldom come across rad-tech I positions. Most positions are in specialized areas (Sonography, mammography, etc.)
Were you able to find a job relatively quick out of school? Is it common for hospitals to hire & train entry level techs for these specialized positions? (Some of these positions state “sonography I” and some do not). Should I expect needing additional education to have better luck at landing a career?
For reference, I live in California! But I would be willing to go anywhere the wind takes me. Thank you for any and all advice!
