hello! im not sure if this is the right place for me to post this, but i kind of just need some advice. let me know if i should post this somewhere else please. im a junior in hs right now and ive been one hundred percent sure about being a radiography tech for a while now, but ive been feeling some doubt about it recently. i dont know what else im supposed to do with myself if i dont go into this and the concept of not wanting to do it anymore is stressing me out so bad. so i just need some advice and some info from people who’re actually in the field to help me know if it’s right for me. some information about myself if it would help: i would consider myself an empathetic person and i can hold a conversation decently if i need to. one of my biggest concerns is that im not really good at memorization and i have a tendency to forget material that i learn in class after i take the final exam. i also dont really think im good at math if that matters (but i might just be convinced im bad at math because im terrible at calculus and thats what im taking right now). another thing, this might be just TMI and unnecessary for this post i have no clue, but i have a habit of being very negative towards myself and just generally de-motivating myself because of the mindset i have towards myself and what i do. im only putting this here because from what ive read and heard, the process for becoming a radtech is very difficult and needs a lot of motivation and hard work. i know thats not a lot about me but i lowkey dont know myself sorry. im just really scared that this isn’t the right thing for me to do, and i cant tell if im just going to do it because ive been set on it for a long time. another one of my fears is that the schooling is going to burn me out because i know its a lot of work and i sometimes struggle with keeping myself motivated through hard classes and stuff like that. i dont know, sorry this big wall of text is a whole bunch of nothing. im just feeling reallt stressed out and i need some advice. thank you if you read all of this!
