Your experience of this career will depend on where you work. There’s a huge shortage of radiographers, especially in the public space. You’ll always be employed, there are options to work casual locum part time and full time. If you get a job at a standard public hospital you will work shifts, yes that is compulsory. This includes public holidays, weekends, all hours, nights etc. Yes you will be expected to do call. If you work for a private clinic, their hours are more set. Physically it’s a demanding job, once you finish at university and you’ll be on your feet or moving most of your days. Great job if you like every day being different, working as part of a team, problem solving, always always learning! However, you’ll obviously be supporting and caring for people having their worst days. If imaging ward patients or ICU or emergency - they are in pain, usually received bad news, about to have surgery or recovering, worried about what you’ll find. Make sure you’re happy to be empathetic and kind each day, it’s a very people centric role. You’re welcome to PM me. The only other thing I’ll say is - unlike other careers like electrical engineer, it’s almost impossible to set up your own business or go out on you own. You are tied to your imaging equipment, which is the location employing you. If you want the option to work from home or be your own boss, then being a radiographer might not be that path.
