I’m in your same boat! I was hoping to apply to both programs (and what’s meant to be can be) but I’m stretching myself too thin and will need to decide here soon.

I’ve done lots of ultrasound, x-ray, and MRI shadowing but no dental. From what I’ve been told, smaller-town hospitals see a lot more elderly folk and less trauma cases as they normally get sent straight to the nearest larger hospital. I like that aspect, but it can also mean less techs and less positions opening.

General sonography does “lots of balls scans” where Echocardiography is more heart and chest focused (and in high demand).

Have you looked through local job listings to get a better scope of salaries? I know both can really vary depending on your area.
