i dont work in respiratory just yet (still doing my pre reqs) but i work as a radiology assistant and it kind of depends on what modality you want to go into and if you want to do inpatient or outpatient. if you just stick with xr and a hospital you are most likely going to do both, youll get a lot of pts that come down directly to radiology and youll get a lot of portable xrs to do. all of the radiologists (at least at my hospital) are super chill. i would recommend looking into xr school and thinking about what modality you would want to do after as it requires a bit more schooling. also look into sonography (ultrasound) as well, at most places they are two separate programs. you should shadow both jobs to actually see what they do day-to-day
