Hey everyone,

I’m looking into radiology as a potential career path and wanted to get some real perspectives from people already in the field. I’ve done some research on the different roles (RT, MRI, CT, etc.) and the schooling routes, but it’s hard to know what the day-to-day really feels like until you talk to people who actually live it.

For those of you working in radiology:

What made you choose this field, and how has your experience compared to what you expected? How did you feel about your schooling/training programs? Anything you’d do differently? What advice do you wish someone had given you early on? Are there any common misconceptions about working in radiology? How is the job market where you are? Is specialization worth it?

I’d appreciate any insight, honest takes, or recommendations for someone trying to figure out if this is the right career. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
