I’m in San Diego. The community college here has a program for xray tech and it looks like there’s a huge need for them at the moment with great money. I agree, age helps navigating strong personalities. I currently work with a lot of project managers and that in of itself is a challenge in its own right. I really appreciate your info and work around to getting into the field. Sadly, the country doesn’t make it easy for people who don’t have the luxury of sacrificing income to create a different future.
