I've always been curious what my fellow Supra owners did for a living, or what they are going to school for... Don't know why, just have. I guess I just want to make sure I'm not the only idiot going into the medical feild with nasty fingernails from working on Toyotas all week-end or something of that nature.
So yeah, I'm a student at a local hospital (radiologic technologist), one of these days I'll be running a CT or MRI machine, although nuclear pays a hell of a lot more than either, but still $20+/hr in this area for just a rad. tech., and I wanna say something like $25-30 for special modalities like CT&MRI. From what I saw some places have wages as high as $45 for nuc med with just a few years exp... I always wanted to be a radiologist, but all they do is sit in the back, read films, and rake in the dough (the radiologist at our hospital supposedly makes somewhere in the neighborhood of $280,000/yr). DAMN good money, just too boring and too much money for school and malpractice insurance.
All I really want is some reassurance that this is something that I want to do for the rest of my life. It was pretty much a toss up between this and auto-body or something like that. But since I actually got into the hospital program (350+ applied, they picked 6) I figured I'd give it a shot, hell, it's only two years of my life, right? Damn I talk too much...
