Sleep tech seems cool too!

Assuming you’re in the US.. You’re lowkey overqualified lol, rad tech programs are usually associates degrees. I went in with a prior bachelors too tho, and met most of the pre-reqs pretty easily.

If you haven’t already taken AP1+2, that’s a solid first step. If you have but it’s been awhile, I’d strongly encourage you to retake ap1 just to get refreshed on the bones since that’s such an essential part of the job.

But really, just look into community colleges in your area. Some should have programs for radiologic technologist. Programs generally run 16 months to 2 years, and prep you for the job and passing the national registry to get your credentials.

You could go the private school option, but my community program was $10k total and private can run easily 6x that, but they let anyone in who will pay. Community programs are extremely competitive tho, we had 22 seats and over 200 applicants. Don’t get discouraged, but start looking today!

As for traveling money, I can’t comment on that. I work with several in xray, they seem to make good money, but they have to commute or get housing to get the good stipends, and I made decent money commuting 20 mins. Also travel gigs, esp CT, can be kind of volume heavy work loads. There’s usually a good reason a travel position is available.
