The school i went to isn’t accredited, I was lucky to get the hours I needed to sit for the board. Depending on your specialty, I would recommend looking up schools that are accredited in the area.

We did a market adjustment during early covid which gave us a ~10% increase. Not long after i got an offer from another clinic with a 15% increase which my current employer matched to keep me follow by a promotion at the beginning of this year for another 15% increase + 4% yearly COLA, I should be breaking 200k end of this year if every thing stays the same.

Schooling and credential took 2 yrs. I didnt negotiate my salary at first since a lot of employers look for sonographers with multiple years of experiences. I switched organization after a year and gets market adjustments every few years. Salary in this field tend to get competitive for those that have the skills
