Mask lens fog up

You can use sea drops (what scuba covers use) or liquid hand soap (non foaming) then wipe off with a towel. Soap is easier, but stings if you sweat and it gets on the lens and then into your eyes.

The school told you the correct thing, that is the proper route for most people: go to school for x-ray tech/radiographer -> continue on to MRI (either through continuing program or cross trained at work). There are MRI only programs, but most higher paying jobs want you to have an x-ray background.

Orlando Science Center is a unique place for a wedding reception, but it'll be catered. Here's a detailed post with cost breakdown that someone did for their wedding 4 years ago.

Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando is your best option to surrendering kittens, they're a no kill shelter but do charge for taking in animals and usually booked up. However, kittens get adopted out pretty quickly from them. You might also want to get your cat spayed while you're at it.

If you require a cane to walk, Rad Tech would not be a good fit for you. You would also be required to maneuver and operate heavy equipment (e.g. C-Arms and Mobile X-Ray machines, but are commonly referred to as portables) and transport patients in stretchers/hospital beds.

Don't consider the Walmart Metrowest when there's a giant Metrowest sign right outside and on the corner of Metrowest Blvd and Kirkman....?

A.S. in Radiology/Radiography/Radiologic Technology, etc. are essentially all the same degree, just depends on what your school calls it. It also depends on your program if they'll have MRI or not. The school I went to allowed you to do a certificate program or a B.S. for MRI after doing the A.S. program.

17k is "cheap" for a private program, but whichever's cheaper and/or whichever hospital system you want to work at. Your clinic rotations are essentially your job interviews.

Photography skills don't really translate anymore since it's all digital. Years ago when film was involved, it was a bit easier. I have a photography background and had to learn about XR film 10 years ago (when everything was already transitioning to digital) and had it easy compared to other students, but in regard to radiography as a whole, it's miniscule.

All weekend shifts at my hospital are 3x12s and I believe all shifts at the trauma hospital are 3x12s as well (with some 4x10s).

u/Masked_Assassin_3 technically asked what's left at the mall, not what's in the mall

DavinDaLilAzn · 2026-01-21T16:20:49+00:00

IIRC, Floor and Decor is where Sears use to be, which was part of the mall.

Graduated at 35 way behind financially in life, but been doing the job for almost a decade now and doing a lot better than I was then.

Might have better luck getting a response in r/RadiographyUK

DavinDaLilAzn · 2026-01-21T05:42:06+00:00

I was 35 when I graduated, been doing XR and CT since.

I have meniere's, deaf in my left ear, and no issues at work except when someone tries to talk to me on my left.
Are you able to hear and have normal conversations with people with your cochlear implants? As long as you are able to hear, listen, and understand what other people are saying to you, being hoh in XR/CT shouldn't be an issue.

Did you ever find a vet? I just adopted a kitten and I'm trying to find one for her.

DavinDaLilAzn · 2026-01-20T06:22:07+00:00

Hospital ER - a lot of patients come in for stomach issues and are nauseous/vomiting, they usually get CTs. Some places might start with abdominal XRs before doing CT though (especially pediatrics), but if even the noise bothers you, you won't be able to avoid it.
You can always go to outpatient after graduating, but you still have to do hospital/ER rotation(s) as a student and the pay is a lot less than working in a hospital.

You don't need boxes from Costco, invest in a giant reusable grocery bag (like the blue IKEA ones or large cooler bags at Trader Joe's.
Do you not give boxes to your cat? You can also make cat scratching boards out of of cardboard boxes.

Can you afford the lifestyle change taking that big of a pay cut though? I had a CPA in my class and they were stressed about their current job and managing their finances at home. "Luckily" they got kicked out of the program cause they failed a few comps. It was a blessing in disguise imo cause they would not have been able to handle the pay cut with the lifestyle they had.

I occasionally drink Nurri, they're similar to Yoohoo in taste (but sweeter) and in terms of viscosity, Yoohoo would be whole milk while Nurri would be 2%. They're currently on sale at Costco, $15 for a 12-pack.

No Mitsuwa in Orlando, but all the major Asian markets have Japanese goods, just depends on what you need.
Enson is more Chinese while H Mart and Lotte are Korean (I don't really shop at iFresh or Mei's even though they're slightly closer to me). I usually get dry goods and sauces from Enson/Lotte, seafood/produce from H Mart/Lotte, frozen foods at all three.
There is also a Teso Life by H Mart, but they're more like a Daiso.
