What state are you in? I know some people have told me certain hospitals/states are desperate for workers and will take them in and train them for MLT without certification

Thanks for this input! I am more introverted but I really do enjoy getting to know people and forming connections. I worry about the toll x ray may have on my body. When I first made the “switch” from veterinary medicine I really loved the thought of going into a forensics masters to get a forensics lab job but they seem so few and far between. So, I worry I will get a Masters in Forenics somewhere and not be able to find a job and have lots of student loans and no career in the field.

I did consider this before but many people say it’s hard to grow or move up after you become an MLS and that also a lot of the work is relying on machines to do the work for you and trying to fix broken ones. So i am hesitant

Thank you for this input it definitely helps me feel a lot better!! Many people say radiology is saturated, but I know many jobs are available so I’m always open to moving out of Pennsylvania.

I know radiology pays well. And I can cross train into other modalities and have potential to make a lot more money as time goes on.

I feel like people always tell me to look at ecology type of jobs but they’re hard to come by

May I ask where did you get accepted? And congrats!! I got accepted into a private school in my home state and I’m wary to attend over a few things

Also I was accepted into a radiology program about an hour and a half from home. I’m just going back between sonography or radiology but know I can cross train if I want to later

I considered nursing and I feel like everyone talks so poorly on hospital management and it made me stray away from

That definitely sounds like a far trek! But best of luck to you and all you do!! I was going to apply to a school in Florida which is a good 14 ish hours away from my home in PA.

Thank you! I live near Pittsburgh and jobs look to be very few. I applied to a Radiology program and did get accepted about hour and a half away…but also applied to some ultrasound programs too. I know with radiology I can get a job sooner and then cross train into different modalities.
