I wanted to be an MRI Tech but the person told me that I have to be an X-Ray tech first, I said what?? in my opinion it's plain stupid, i don't like X-Ray, it's not related at all, but to get to things in life you have to do what you gotta do right? luckily where I work they have me doing portables, I hate OR not because is challenging but the disrespect that you may go through that I've seen it, some ppl take it, not me, I don't care if they're under stress (that's why they make them millions, they know better) and when ppl say: " When they cursed you they not really mad at you" and I replied: " when I cursed them back, it's not really to them" luckily I'll be taking the MRI registry next year and leave the x-rays for good !! Edited: ok PASSED my MRI ARRT Board on 03/21/24, let's do this !!!
lol! Yes general x-ray isn’t for everyone and MRI might not be either but Radiology Technologist is your foundation and you did right by that. I don’t like the OR but I’m good enough to do it and be ok. Good luck in MRI you’ll do great!

Interventional radiology and Cath pays the most and are the most in demand.. I've always viewed general x-ray as entry-level. Then you advance your training to mri, ct, IR, Cath Lab, mamo... etc. Nurses have to continue to get different certification for different areas, so to for RT's. Getting a Rt(r) is the equivalent of being a floor RN.. Getting a certification in Interventional radiology, Cath Lab Radiation, MRI.. is the equivalent of getting a certification in the ICU with pay and stature
Thank you so much I'm currently taking one of my prerequisites ( computer science) and I'm working as a phlebotomist, I always wanted to be a x ray tech and I can't wait. I'm going to community college for an affordable radiology program
I just finished my Associate in Arts and deciding whether to go to Radiology School or study Spanish Literature. I got an easy job in the cleaning dept of a major hospital, so Im comfortable in an active critical setting where you see everything, especially in the ER. However, now that I'm ready to apply to a university my thing to decide is whether to help people and get a good income, or get in sync with my creative side and study literature. My usual area is the IR dept and I see a lot of frustration being on-call, specially for people that live an hour away from the hospital where they can show up at random hours and just stay to start their shift. My classes for this last semester were intense and left me like a zombie that didn't have the energy to celebrate graduation, so thats what Im thinking Radiology school will be like. On the other hand, I'd be reading and studying classic Spanish literature which I already enjoy. I will stay on my job because the hours are good and so are the benefits, now I'm just trying to decide which road to take in the coming months academically.

I work in a clinic setting. It is set hours, no OR, strictly xray and i love it! You know what you are going to get for the most part. I feel I make good money for it not being in the bigger hospital. It's a good option for people that are afraid of OR and BEs.
Also, I worked for a chiropractor for a while (took all their X-rays and worked front desk). They do not pay as much, but it's still another option for new grads to consider.
Hi 👋 Welcome 🙏🏽 Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like my videos it helps the channel 🙏🏽 That’s awesome & yeah that’s what I meant by imaging center & hospitals. You can only work where there is X-Ray the only thing about the urgent care work place is that you also have to do MA work, physicals & give medications. Thats 3 jobs in one person so they get all they can out of you, nothing wrong with that from the business prospective. Also those places don’t allow you to cross train into CT or MRI.

Try a hybrid online course remotely and the school will.fimd approved the clinical setting next to your home to go. I dont have either, but luckily, i found solutions. I couldn't give up, lol. Note: Sometimes, No available mean redirection. Look for hybrid programs and give them a call.
Im currently going to a community college right now and was thinking of majoring in radiology and wanted to be either an x-ray tech or MRI tech but im worry about the program. Since I work full time dont know if I will be able to do the program full time and work. Since im single and support myself. So need the full time job to help pay for rent.

I graduated x ray school and passed my boards and started out working nights Monday-Thursdays 9p-7a now that I'm expecting a little one soon I had to go back to being prn. I like PRN cause I cam work as much or as little as I want. I do want to get back into x ray after a while then work on getting into mammography.
Hi 👋 Welcome 🙏🏽 Thanks for watching Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my Videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽 That’s super cool & congrats on your baby it’s such a blessing from GOD 🙌🏽 Yes if you don’t need the benefits PRN is amazing! Mammo would be nice because they have a set schedule of usually 8:00am - 4:30pm with no On-call & No overnights. Proud of you 🙏🏽
Great video Juan thanks for sharing so many good details. One other place you can work is in industry for a medical vendor. I work with many RTs that work designing products or applications training.
Thanks for all the info and answering my questions. I watch alot of videos on Rad Tech but most dont reply and its ok😊. So far what I understand to become a Mamographer i would have to attend a Radiologic Technology program and then get a certification in Mammography how long is that certification after i graduate. How much more school do i need ?
You’re absolutely correct. Most crossed trained mammo techs takes around 6 months. Then you have to pass a national registry from ARRT but they say it’s easy.
Hi 👋 Welcome 🙏🏽 Thank you for watching Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽 Thanks for watching again 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video Juan! Thank you! I am 48 and trying to get into Radiology. Have you tried to look into set up your own imaging businesses, like visiting patients senior living places and others? I know there is obviously licensing involved from the state, insurance, and other requirements but what do you know of heard about?
Yo! Welcome 🙏🏽 Thanks for watching Please remember to SUBSCRIBE, WATCH & LIKE 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people who need this important information. Ok so question for you why do you think Radiology is a good idea at 48? (Age don’t matter but I must ask in order to help you) Ok so to start your own portable X-ray company which many are out there already, it takes money! Ex: X-ray Machine = $100K + PACS SYSTEM = $5-10K per month RADIOLOGIST READING - $500 per exam. VAN to transfer X-ray Machine= $80K + INSURANCE for Equipment & worker= $2,000 + Month So as you see it’s not that cheap to start a side Radiology hustle, not impossible but definitely not easy 👀 Great question I might do a video to this soon, so stay tuned 🙏🏽
Ben! Sup man 🙏🏽 Thank you for watching & supporting please don’t forget to Subscribe, Watch & Like my videos it helps the channel. Ok so no it’s not the same: RAD TECH- You do general X-rays RADIATION THERAPY- You give radiation to cancer patients to help them kill cancer. Hope this helped my brotha ✊🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959 Ok so I want to get into radiation therapy, would it benefit me to go to rad tech school? Or would that be a waste of time since they are different? Also I think I did subscribe lol.

Hello 👋 Thanks for watching Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽 Ok so that depends on what you’re trying to do. This is possible if you become a travel tech because as a travel tech assignments are usually 3-4 months only & in those 3-4 months your averaging between $32-40K so you can come home and relax for 1 month & then do it again. Now if you’re saying you want to work, let’s say 3 years and take a 6 month break, I don’t recommend that because if you don’t use it you lose it. So you have to stay consistent with your craft. Hope this helped 🙏🏽
Hi 👋 Welcome 🙏🏽 Thank you for watching Please remember to SUBSCRIBE, WATCH & LIKE 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more viewers who need this content/help 🙏🏽 Ok so from my research an NCT= Non Certified Radiology Technologist? If so YES don’t do that I’m not sure why that is even a thing 🤔🤷🏽♂️
Hello 👋 Welcome 🙏🏽 Thank you for watching Please remember to SUBSCRIBE, WATCH & LIKE 👍🏽 my videos it helps the channel reach more viewers who need this content 🙏🏽 Video coming soon Stayed tuned 🙏🏽
Yo! Welcome 🙏🏽 Thank you for watching Please remember to SUBSCRIBE, WATCH & LIKE 👍🏽 my videos it helps the channel reach more viewers who need this content 🙏🏽 Ok so YES if you don’t want to be on-call it’s best to work at an outpatient clinic/center but then you are limiting yourself from becoming a full tech do to the fact that usually in a clinic you don’t so Fluoro or OR cases which then means that in the future if you want to become a Travel Tech & make $2-3K per week most travel agencies won’t take you on do to your lack of experience. Hope this helped 🙏🏽
Hi juan, I am a Radiographer in sri lanka, Iam 17 year workin experience ,but am have diploma in Radiogray, am watting coming USA by Green card , please can i pass the ARRT

Hello 👋 Welcome Thanks for watching & supporting please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like my videos so much great information. So No in General X-Ray you don’t need to learn how to do IV’s maybe while in Radiology Technologist program they will give you a quick rundown but you won’t use it in the real world. Hope this helped 🙏🏽
Yo! Welcome 🙏🏽 Thanks for watching Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my Videos it helps reach other people 🙏🏽 Ok so no that won’t be possible going into the Radiology Program is a full time commitment.
So I’m confused about the physics aspect of the program. What is the class called where there is physics? I’m looking at my degree plan and I don’t see physics.
Hi Bryanna 👋 Thanks for watching Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽 Ok so Physics is pretty tough but I wasn’t great at math & I have NEVER token Physics before going to Radiology School! I did ok I will not say I had A’s throughout school because that would definitely be a lie. I was that student that literally barely made it every time 👀 but I stayed focused, consistent & motivated! If you do those 3 things you will make it trust me 🙏🏽
Ok I’ll break it down for you bro: Radiology Technologist is the proper name but nicknames are: X-Ray Tech, Rad Tech, Imaging Technologist Radiologist is the actual doctor who reads the images and it takes 16 years to become a Radiologist. Hoped this helped 🙏🏽
Hi 👋 Welcome 🙏🏽 Thanks for watching Please remember to SUBSCRIBE, WATCH & LIKE 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people who need this content/help 🙏🏽 Ok so how on-call works is that you get paid like $2-3 dollars for being on-call but if they call you in you get paid time & half even if you go for 30 mins you still get paid the whole hour. Hope this helped 🙂
Yo! Welcome 🙏🏽 Thanks for watching & supporting Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽 Ok so as a general Rad Tech in Florida the average pay is between $28-30 Hr. If you do CT or MRI it’s about $32-35 Hr. Hope this helped 🙏🏽
Yo! Welcome 🙏🏽 Thanks for watching Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽 Ok so usually bro when you’re in the Radiology Program you are graduating with an A.S. In science. They call it that put most schools now don’t require you to even finish an A.S. As long as you get your prerequisites done you can apply to the program. Now does it help to get your A.S. And then apply … Yes you’ll have a better chance but again nothing is promised. Best thing to do is try your best to get A’s & B’s now this only applies if your trying to get into a Public/State College. If you are trying to get into a Private College then nothings matters they accept anyone as long as your willing to pay the $50-70K in student loans 🤔👀🤷🏽♂️ Hope this helped 🙏🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959appreciate you replying brotha ok good info yes I plan to go to a community college here in az I got approved for financial aid fafsa. One more question bro when you are finished with college and get your associates are you guaranteed a job in the hospital as a c-ray technician?
@leovargas760 Yo! Yes sir but make sure your community college Radiology Program is a 2 year degree. Once your finished school you take your ARRT registry exam & once you pass that your a Certified Radiology Technologist. After that you can grow into CT, MRI ect… YES there’s so many jobs available right now and that won’t go away anytime soon! One question though What made you get into Radiology? Follow me on TikTok under same name “Juanmotiv8s” Message me there I want to help you make the best decision for you ✊🏽💯
It sounds like you didn't do your homework before going into the field. You never mentioned IR or Cath lab .. sounds like your view is very narrow. If you are a Rt you need to be flexible willing to relocate for opportunities. I've been a interventional radiology tech for over 20 years and from my perspective, you are very short sited in your analogy of the field..
I agree I’ve been watching a lot of informationals and his seem so cryptic , others are still keeping it real but kinda of show a broader and more positive outlook
I really don't understand your videos. You keep waffling back and forth about the field. Get into it, don't get into it. Which is it? And as far as the hours...those are not crazy crazy hours. There are hundreds of occultations that are way harder than being a rad tech in a hospital. This video seems more discouraging than letting people know what their getting into. I'll tell you what a hard job is. "Living life". Nothing is harder than that. And anything worth doing is going to be hard. Living life is the hardest thing to do yet we do it while many check out. You sound like you're burned out. And you talk about the things you didn't know before going in, but you're still working in the field. This video feels like a scare tactic. And some of your information is misinformation. Rad techs can work in more than just hospitals and imaging centers so that's dead wrong.
Ok so first off I want to say thank you for always supporting I appreciate you 🙏🏽 I make my videos like this because even though you’ve seen my previous videos other people haven’t and I still get questions like “What hours do rad techs work” “what’s involved in rad tech daily like” ect so I have to go back. On my videos I try not to say go into Radiology or Not I just simply give you insight on the field & it might or may not be for you. I still work in the field because I worked hard for my degree & it pays well it’s not my passion but I respect it. I have my Bachelors, I went back to school for a 💈 & im currently in school to be a teacher so it has provided me with the opportunity to venture out. If this video discouraged you I apologize wasn’t my intention 🙏🏽 Have a blessed Day 🙏🏽
I wanted to be an MRI Tech but the person told me that I have to be an X-Ray tech first, I said what?? in my opinion it's plain stupid, i don't like X-Ray, it's not related at all, but to get to things in life you have to do what you gotta do right? luckily where I work they have me doing portables, I hate OR not because is challenging but the disrespect that you may go through that I've seen it, some ppl take it, not me, I don't care if they're under stress (that's why they make them millions, they know better) and when ppl say: " When they cursed you they not really mad at you" and I replied: " when I cursed them back, it's not really to them" luckily I'll be taking the MRI registry next year and leave the x-rays for good !!

Your absolutely correct ‼️☢️💀
Juan thank you so much, I live in the Virginia and I’ve been looking for a school I can do a 3 months program. I wish Florida was close I would have gone to your school.

I graduated x ray school and passed my boards and started out working nights Monday-Thursdays 9p-7a now that I'm expecting a little one soon I had to go back to being prn. I like PRN cause I cam work as much or as little as I want. I do want to get back into x ray after a while then work on getting into mammography.

Yes if you don’t need the benefits PRN is amazing!
Mammo would be nice because they have a set schedule of usually
8:00am - 4:30pm with no On-call & No overnights.
Proud of you 🙏🏽
Great video Juan thanks for sharing so many good details. One other place you can work is in industry for a medical vendor. I work with many RTs that work designing products or applications training.
Hey 😃
Thanks for watching & supporting i appreciate you 🙏🏽
That’s a great point of applications career thank you for that 🙏🏽
How does a RT get a job with medical vendors or applications?
@nikedrastokes7069 That is a position that comes with experience. Once your an Rad Tech you meet people and make connections.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
Thanks for all the info and answering my questions. I watch alot of videos on Rad Tech but most dont reply and its ok😊. So far what I understand to become a Mamographer i would have to attend a Radiologic Technology program and then get a certification in Mammography how long is that certification after i graduate. How much more school do i need ?
You’re absolutely correct.
Most crossed trained mammo techs takes around 6 months.
Then you have to pass a national registry from ARRT but they say it’s easy.
Great sh*t man ty

Great video Juan! Thank you! I am 48 and trying to get into Radiology. Have you tried to look into set up your own imaging businesses, like visiting patients senior living places and others? I know there is obviously licensing involved from the state, insurance, and other requirements but what do you know of heard about?
Yo!
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
Please remember to SUBSCRIBE, WATCH & LIKE 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people who need this important information.
Ok so question for you why do you think Radiology is a good idea at 48? (Age don’t matter but I must ask in order to help you)
Ok so to start your own portable X-ray company which many are out there already, it takes money!
Ex:
X-ray Machine = $100K +
PACS SYSTEM = $5-10K per month
RADIOLOGIST READING - $500 per exam.
VAN to transfer X-ray Machine= $80K +
INSURANCE for Equipment & worker= $2,000 + Month
So as you see it’s not that cheap to start a side Radiology hustle, not impossible but definitely not easy 👀
Great question I might do a video to this soon, so stay tuned 🙏🏽
what is the difference between and Rad Tech and radiation therapy? Love your content too brother thank you!!!!!
Ben!
Sup man 🙏🏽
Thank you for watching & supporting please don’t forget to Subscribe, Watch & Like my videos it helps the channel.
Ok so no it’s not the same:
RAD TECH- You do general X-rays
RADIATION THERAPY- You give radiation to cancer patients to help them kill cancer.
Hope this helped my brotha ✊🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959 Ok so I want to get into radiation therapy, would it benefit me to go to rad tech school? Or would that be a waste of time since they are different? Also I think I did subscribe lol.
I’m 51 and always been interested in this career, I’m about to retire from my job where I’m used to working 12-16 hr shifts. My age, is it a factor, do I have a chance ?

Ok I sent you a few videos it alot of information but it’s FREE INFORMATION that no other UA-cam Channel gives ☢️
Hey Juan, question! Is it possible to work for how ever long you’d like as a rad tech and then take a pause, and come back to it
Hello 👋
Thanks for watching
Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽
Ok so that depends on what you’re trying to do. This is possible if you become a travel tech because as a travel tech assignments are usually 3-4 months only & in those 3-4 months your averaging between $32-40K so you can come home and relax for 1 month & then do it again.
Now if you’re saying you want to work, let’s say 3 years and take a 6 month break, I don’t recommend that because if you don’t use it you lose it.
So you have to stay consistent with your craft.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽

Is better to work in a radiology clinics than hospitals so this way you don’t be on call?
Yo!
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thank you for watching
Please remember to
SUBSCRIBE, WATCH & LIKE 👍🏽 my videos it helps the channel reach more viewers who need this content 🙏🏽
Ok so YES if you don’t want to be on-call it’s best to work at an outpatient clinic/center but then you are limiting yourself from becoming a full tech do to the fact that usually in a clinic you don’t so Fluoro or OR cases which then means that in the future if you want to become a Travel Tech & make $2-3K per week most travel agencies won’t take you on do to your lack of experience.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽

Do X-ray technicians need to learn to start IVs?
I know MRI and CT do what about X-rays?
Hello 👋
Welcome
Thanks for watching & supporting please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like my videos so much great information.
So No in General X-Ray you don’t need to learn how to do IV’s maybe while in Radiology Technologist program they will give you a quick rundown but you won’t use it in the real world.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
Technology
Can you make a video on exactly what Flouro is & what you have to do with a BE?
But we can work at Ortho, outpatient clinic etc? Right?
New RT student here😊
Hi 👋
Thank you so much for supporting & yes I definitely will do one soon
Stay tuned 🙏🏽🙂
Super awesome you will do GREAT! 😊
Which college
@@juanmotiva8s959 yes thanks! I’m doing pretty great so far and enjoying the material
Since my current job I work 4 10’s is it possible for me to do schooling for X-ray tech. You did mention that schooling is 5 days a week
Yo!
Welcome 🙏🏽

Ok so no that won’t be possible going into the Radiology Program is a full time commitment.
I had a part time job while in school, I think FT would be difficult to be honest. X-ray school is pretty intense.
So I’m confused about the physics aspect of the program. What is the class called where there is physics? I’m looking at my degree plan and I don’t see physics.
Hi 👋
I’ll make a video soon about this
Stay tuned 🙏🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959 thanks!
can you please tell me how physics was for you. Easy hard? most challenging part?
Hi Bryanna 👋
Thanks for watching
Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽
Ok so Physics is pretty tough but I wasn’t great at math & I have NEVER token Physics before going to Radiology School!
I did ok I will not say I had A’s throughout school because that would definitely be a lie. I was that student that literally barely made it every time 👀 but I stayed focused, consistent & motivated!
If you do those 3 things you will make it trust me 🙏🏽
Is X-ray technician and radiology technologist and radiologist all different? Im confused.
Ok I’ll break it down for you bro:
Radiology Technologist is the proper name but nicknames are: X-Ray Tech, Rad Tech, Imaging Technologist
Radiologist is the actual doctor who reads the images and it takes 16 years to become a Radiologist.
Hoped this helped 🙏🏽
Do you get extra payment on call?
Hi 👋
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
Please remember to
SUBSCRIBE, WATCH & LIKE 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people who need this content/help 🙏🏽
Ok so how on-call works is that you get paid like $2-3 dollars for being on-call but if they call you in you get paid time & half even if you go for 30 mins you still get paid the whole hour.
Hope this helped 🙂
How is the pay? I’m in Tampa, Florida
Yo!
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching & supporting
Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽
Ok so as a general Rad Tech in Florida the average pay is between
$28-30 Hr.
If you do CT or MRI it’s about $32-35 Hr.
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959 Thanks and yes I subscribed
Question brotha what should I put for major what is the degree called for x-ray tech to start school ?
Yo!
Welcome 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
Please remember to Subscribe, Watch & Like 👍🏽 my videos it helps reach more people 🙏🏽
Ok so usually bro when you’re in the Radiology Program you are graduating with an A.S. In science.
They call it that put most schools now don’t require you to even finish an A.S. As long as you get your prerequisites done you can apply to the program. Now does it help to get your A.S. And then apply … Yes you’ll have a better chance but again nothing is promised.
Best thing to do is try your best to get A’s & B’s now this only applies if your trying to get into a Public/State College. If you are trying to get into a Private College then nothings matters they accept anyone as long as your willing to pay the $50-70K in student loans 🤔👀🤷🏽♂️
Hope this helped 🙏🏽
@@juanmotiva8s959appreciate you replying brotha ok good info yes I plan to go to a community college here in az I got approved for financial aid fafsa. One more question bro when you are finished with college and get your associates are you guaranteed a job in the hospital as a c-ray technician?
Sorry I meant x-ray
@leovargas760 Yo!
Yes sir but make sure your community college Radiology Program is a 2 year degree. Once your finished school you take your ARRT registry exam & once you pass that your a Certified Radiology Technologist.
After that you can grow into CT, MRI ect…
YES there’s so many jobs available right now and that won’t go away anytime soon!
One question though
What made you get into Radiology?
Follow me on TikTok under same name “Juanmotiv8s”
Message me there I want to help you make the best decision for you ✊🏽💯
Aight man appreciate it I’ll message u
So wait , all rad techs are on call?
Depends on where you work:
Hospital 🏥- 99.9 % chance
Urgent Care 🚨- 60 % chance
Imaging Centers - 5% chance
Of being On-call!
Hope this helps
@@juanmotiva8s959 thanks I work at a major hospital right now was considering rad tech. But I want to work at a clinic
It sounds like you didn't do your homework before going into the field. You never mentioned IR or Cath lab .. sounds like your view is very narrow. If you are a Rt you need to be flexible willing to relocate for opportunities. I've been a interventional radiology tech for over 20 years and from my perspective, you are very short sited in your analogy of the field..
I agree I’ve been watching a lot of informationals and his seem so cryptic , others are still keeping it real but kinda of show a broader and more positive outlook
I really don't understand your videos. You keep waffling back and forth about the field. Get into it, don't get into it. Which is it? And as far as the hours...those are not crazy crazy hours. There are hundreds of occultations that are way harder than being a rad tech in a hospital. This video seems more discouraging than letting people know what their getting into. I'll tell you what a hard job is. "Living life". Nothing is harder than that. And anything worth doing is going to be hard. Living life is the hardest thing to do yet we do it while many check out. You sound like you're burned out. And you talk about the things you didn't know before going in, but you're still working in the field. This video feels like a scare tactic. And some of your information is misinformation. Rad techs can work in more than just hospitals and imaging centers so that's dead wrong.
Ok so first off I want to say thank you for always supporting I appreciate you 🙏🏽
I make my videos like this because even though you’ve seen my previous videos other people haven’t and I still get questions like “What hours do rad techs work” “what’s involved in rad tech daily like” ect so I have to go back.
On my videos I try not to say go into Radiology or Not I just simply give you insight on the field & it might or may not be for you.
I still work in the field because I worked hard for my degree & it pays well it’s not my passion but I respect it.
I have my Bachelors, I went back to school for a 💈 & im currently in school to be a teacher so it has provided me with the opportunity to venture out.
If this video discouraged you I apologize wasn’t my intention 🙏🏽
Have a blessed Day 🙏🏽
