      you can only do radiography if you do a program for it. There is a state licensure for diagnostic radiography and a separate exam for radiation therapy . So unless you go to a school that has radiography built into the program prior completing radiation therapy then you can only work as a radiation therapist . I went through radiography first then

      Very big on physics. Reduction in radiation beams. Calibration and patient position does have the need for quick math computation. Such as reading at 72.3 cm and needing a 12.6 cm shift right. Does the number move up or down? This on top of talking to patient and other radiation therapist. Its alot to handle.

      I would say there is demand. This is a small, niche occupation (only around 20k employed). With small niche occupations, you have to be open to moving across state lines to find the job opportunities. Unlike say registered nurses, who can find employment pretty much anywhere.
