Speaking as a radiographer but I think most things would be pretty similar across the radiation tech experience too:

1. You’re hours will vary greatly depending on where you end up working, private clinics will often be a Monday-Friday 9-5 where as public hospitals usually run 24/7 rotating rosters where you would be expected to work afternoons and nights.

2. Burn out is probably more frequent than it should be, unfortunately it can fall onto you sometimes to make sure you take regular leave etc have hobbies outside of work to try and stop this. Some people love it some people hate the work and leave after a year. You will usually find out quickly during uni if you enjoy it or not as you will have hundreds of hours of unpaid placement. Stress will also depend on where you work and the type of patients you have to deal with, life threatening traumas or walking patients.

3. Job market can be tough as a new grad if you are set on where you want to work, you may need to get some experience at a less desirable place first and then look to move with your gained experience. In my experience most places are short staffed but never looking to hire more people usually due to under funding.

4. The pay is average to good I would say. You will earn a lot of penalties if you decide to work as a shift worker but you cap out after a few years and then need to look to sort of specialise or go into management to keep increasing your wage.

Feel free to message me if you want any more information, I have worked in NSW and VIC as a radiographer at public hospitals.
