I made this video for the people out there who are unsure of what career path to follow and end up going into radiology. I see lots of students start a program and after the first year quit. Or even worse, complete the program and not be able to find a job. If you really want to go into radiology and have your heart set on complete success. Then go for it. Start the program, give 100% each day in clinicals, and pursue a full-time with total dedication. There are jobs out there. Be warned, it may take a lot of searching and waiting. I simply wanted to give you some quality information from someone in the field before you made a big life choice.
Truth is every job is "over saturated" literally. No matter what you want to do there's going to be competition and many people are so unwilling to relocate. Like if it's something you want to do you will find a way to do it and make a living. Besides the American education system is a fuckin scam anyways 😊😁 if it's something you love DO IT
Hahaha hey guys don't get scare when u watch this video , I just got my license of ARRT xray tech and I got 3 jobs at the same time , as a tech one in a hospital , another in a orthopedic clinic , and the other in a urgent care , at the end it all comes down to you , how bad do u want a job and how good are u doin it . Good luck guys and dont get scare
i have been out of high school since 2001 i was accepted into a radiology program in 2016 we were 20 accepted from 400 applicants , if you work hard you will make it . Hard work beats talent always. good luck
I was thinking to go to school for radiology. Did the research as you advised and realized there are more nursing positions than there are for rad tech. And nursing pays well in nj where i am. Rad techs start at 22$ an hour. Thank you for the info!
I think when you do your research, look into the different kinds of Rad Tech positions as well, for instance, standard Xray's, CT Scans, MRI, Mammography etc..The reason why I want to go into the Rad Tech program is to be able to get trained and work my way up to get certified to do Mammography. I like what you said about searching to see if there are any job openings in your area first..smart thinking!
Actually if Catscan and mammography are booming. Two facilities I have worked at replaced an xray room with catscan room. Mammography is huge need, because of the huge number of female baby boomers. MRI job market isn't as plentiful. I don't know why, but MRI techs tend to stay put once they find a job. However if your licensed employment shouldn't be that hard. So, if your goal is one of these modalities go for it. Radiology school will be a necessary step that will lead to a great career. My personal tip is purse catscan. My last night job, the catscan tech consistently performed my exams each night than I did in xray.
I'm thinking of going back to school but fuck man, why is the economy so hard on millennials. I just want a good career with the ability to support a family. Is it so hard to ask? All I want is a decent job. I would work my ass off but I need to be sure it would be worth it.
I'm in the same boat, but just remember that not every 4 year degree that a given school offers pays off. Many of them only serve the school. That point goes along what the video said- "don't believe the school." IMO, associate's degrees are the best bang for your buck, especially if they get you out quicker to gain experience in a field. Experience is where the true education lies, and what will really increase your pay grade in a field. The market is hard to get a foothold in because most employers refuse to hire people without experience. Those are my findings.
You hit the nail right on the coffin. I have a Bachelors Degreee in Supply Chain Management from a Top 5 program, but after a dozen interviews for just "entry level jobs", they spit the same bullshit like you don't have experience, which I can't get without someone giving me a chance haha. I wasn't in a frat and I don't have connections so its harder for me. I may just shoot for an internship. I'm smart and educated. I shouldn't be working retail forever. MRI technologist is my backup. I've looked into it. There are too many xray techs but if you do an extra year and specialize in something, there are more jobs. Also you have to do clinicals so you're guaranteed work experience which I feel like will help out in the job hunt.
Ross Matney No. Bachelors is where it's at. Go for it. My name is Bob, your name is Bob. We were born on the same day, same year, we went to the same school, got the same grades, same previous jobs, same references and we apply for a job... What's the difference? I have a Bachelors and you only have an associates degree. I have an extra 2 years and you are a tag along with the other 63 percent of rad techs who have only an associates degree. Who would the employer hire?
Alex Sosna I’m so stuck right now trying to find out what I wanna do with my life and to provide for my family. I’m 34 years old and still stuck I need help lol
People LOVE using the terms "oversaturated market" I've seen it for literally every career I've looked into. It's just a buzzword at this point, it's ridiculous.
Exactly!!!!!!!!! Every profession I look into everyone says its hard to find a job. It's like they're just waiting fot a job to be given to them. I looked into dental hygienist Dental Assisting and respiratory therapist all say same about finding a job. Negitive people won't find jobs 🤷
Thanks for this video, I've done a few things that were suggested and it really has given me a better perspective on things. I'm still going into the program, but this time with better expectations.
Good deal. Once of the nice things about this career field is there is fairly high turnover. When I talk to people from the last hospital I worked at, there are so many new people. So, if you go through the program. Do a good job and make good connections, you should be able to find a job. Good luck!
your advise is a kind of right, but when you finish rad tech program, after 2 or 3 year,the job demands will be changed, and nobody knows which career how better market. Am I right?
+Mina Kazemi Sure, that may be true. It's ultimately your career decision. I wanted to give you more information to help you make the best possible decision.
Sherry Amanfor don't think you won't get burnt out in Radiology ! Read my book Finding Comic Relief in Radiology. It is an honest book on what it's like working in MRI.

the cost of radtech here in the Philippines range in $400- $500 each semester it is 4 years course, im planning to take radtech too does radtech required a deep math skill? im not good at mathematics.
Graduated in 5/2016, still no full time job. Got experience working part time at my clinical hospital and only had 1 interview since. If you dont get hired at your clinical hospital, you wont get hired anywhere and you're SOL.
John Handcock I agree 100%. I can't find another position in my area because either hospitals hire from within or take forever to get back you. X-Ray is the most frustrating position I've ever searched for. I'm starting to believe that having connections in the healthcare field is what works but it is very difficult to move around in this field. If you get somewhere you are stuck whether you like it or not! I'm going for a 1 year accelerated nursing program in the fall. Will make nursing my primary and x-Ray my secondary income. I can not rely on X-ray it is unstable. I don't understand why so many people want to work in X-ray, it's nothing special really.
There is some math required. If you were fine with high school math the knowledge required for the program isn't that bad. I'll be honest, I've seen some really smart people fly through programs and I've seen people that we're the sharpest tools in the shed get through the program. If the only thing holding you back is math don't fret. Between the classes, your classmates, teachers, tutors, and UA-cam you'll have plenty of resources to get you past the math.
I worked in the field from 2000-2015 as radiology tech. I got really lucky and was able to go through the US Air Force version of x-ray school. Most community college programs are two years of full-time school. The classes depend on the college. I suggest checking the college you are interested in course catalog. Bonus tip: I'm very again school like CTU(www.coloradotech.edu/) or Keiser(www.keiseruniversity.edu/radiologic-technology-as/), because they promise quick admittance, easy courses, a shorter program, and 100% job placement. However, they cost 3 to 4 times as much to attend as a local community college. A lot of employers would see a candidate attended a school like that and discard their resume. That's my opinion.
Chris McClure Again. How was the way you learned to you? What type of science or math is involved that's all I want to know instead you keep promoting other ways of school. I can get in any school but I want to know what I'm getting into before I waste money and time.
2 Things that will help since each program is slightly different. 1) This link should help give you a basic idea of courses, (www.geteducated.com/career-center/how-to-become-a-radiologic-technologist). 2) Contact the local community college in your area and get a list of courses.

He's right this career is very saturated, I walked around several hospitals asking nurses and techs about thier jobs, the nurses were very positive and so were the techs but they stated the same things he's saying it is very very saturated look at your area, it has a 9 percent chance of job increases, also Kieser wants 50,000 for a two year rad tech program lol I ran out of that school, now doing Lpn to Rn bridge program and happy about it, I know this sounds weird because I'm online but don't believe everything you read online, I got off the computer and went to 20 hospitals and asked questions because most people get online just to complain, and food for thought this is a male dominated field not for the reasons you're thinking, look at the machines they are HEAVY you will be lugging that stuff around lifting large obese patients to the table to take the xrays, ladies is this something you want to do at 40, 50 years old. THIS IS NOT A EASY CAKE WALK FIELD LIKE MOST PEOPLE THINK......
this video has been very helpful. thanks man. i would like to know more info about the 2 year program u talked about. after u attend rad tech school for 2 years u become a radiologist? or u have to attend more schools? please do comment back. thanks
+Md Efat Here's the break down. 2 years of school = radiology tech. A radiology tech carrying an ARRT license can perform all types of radiology procedures on patients. 4 years undergrad + 3 or 4 years of medical school + 3 to 5 years of residency (if a radiology does read this, please correct my guess at years) = 12 years or so of school to become a radiologist. A radiologist is a doctor that is skilled at reading the x-rays.
Theres a school about 30 mins away from where i live that im interested on getting some more information, their website says that some students can qualify for student aid. Would you have any experience or information on this?
I do not. I was lucky and went to school through the Air Force. I owe all my fame and fortune to the USAF. The one tip that I will give you to help with the decision making process is to get the full cost of the school, including books and any other extra fees(there are always extra fees). Then figure out how much radiology techs make in your area. Depending on where you live you might find that you'll make bank compared to the cost of school, if that's the case go to school for it. However, if you find that school is super expensive and the wages are low in your area, then you might want to look else where. Lastly, take everything the school tells you with a grain of salt. Schools are in the business of making money/filling their programs. Look out for yourself. Good luck.
There is a big drought in nursing, because to run a hospital it requires a lot of nurses. I mean a lot! And as the years have gone by, the requirements to become a RN are more and more difficult.
I went into the field in 1999. Jobs were plenty. If you had an AART license and a pulse, hospitals couldn't hire you fast enough. There were 10 to 15 thousand dollar sign on bonuses. Over 16 years I saw the field become saturated and the scale of open jobs tilt from plentiful to scarce. That's why I made this video. To help people from trying to get into a field that doesn't have any many jobs as others.
so basically, don't become a radiology tech, F, I really don't want to be an RN but that's basically all the job postings I see! I have some thinking and more research to do now :(
:( UGH i'm in the same position right now, I feel stuck. I've been so sure about pursuing rad tech as a career but all these forums are overwhelming and scaring the crap out of me. I don't even know who to talk to about this because no one seems to be very informative or even trustworthy when it comes to the health programs in my area. What is RN?
Yeah registered nurse, and it's in high demand but there are so many different kinds and schooling is grueling, I've just resolved to stay in the program at my university, and if I can't find a job I'll just continue on for radiologist
Hey Kari, I'm curious as to if you are still pursuing a career as a radiology tech or if you are trying to be an RN. I want to pursue a career as a rad tech, but not sure if i should even bother now because of job availability in my area :(
Afflix I switched to RN, it's really hard to find positions in my area for rad tech. I feel better with the switch, knowing that I could find a job after graduation. I've been volunteering at my local hospital and I find that I really enjoy the ER. so I hope that nursing will be suited for me. if the hospital setting isn't for you there are also positions available at doctors offices and other areas that you can pursue in nursing
Shakira Rorie Yes, I actually went to several hospitals asking techs and nursing about thier jobs, ironically the nurses where positive the techs stated everything he's saying it is OVERSATURATED, this career is good for a housewife or something, I also went to Kieser because I was thinking of switching from lpn to rad tech, for 50,000 no, lol and they lied about job opportunities.... now going for RN

so basically, don't become a radiology tech, F, I really don't want to be an RN but that's basically all the job postings I see! I have some thinking and more research to do now :(
:( UGH i'm in the same position right now, I feel stuck. I've been so sure about pursuing rad tech as a career but all these forums are overwhelming and scaring the crap out of me. I don't even know who to talk to about this because no one seems to be very informative or even trustworthy when it comes to the health programs in my area. What is RN?
RN as in registered nurse? Kill me.
Yeah registered nurse, and it's in high demand but there are so many different kinds and schooling is grueling, I've just resolved to stay in the program at my university, and if I can't find a job I'll just continue on for radiologist
Hey Kari, I'm curious as to if you are still pursuing a career as a radiology tech or if you are trying to be an RN. I want to pursue a career as a rad tech, but not sure if i should even bother now because of job availability in my area :(
Afflix I switched to RN, it's really hard to find positions in my area for rad tech. I feel better with the switch, knowing that I could find a job after graduation. I've been volunteering at my local hospital and I find that I really enjoy the ER. so I hope that nursing will be suited for me. if the hospital setting isn't for you there are also positions available at doctors offices and other areas that you can pursue in nursing
Very informative, thank you!
Thanks
Thanks! Very interesting & informative! :-)
very informative
thank you so much!!!!
Helpful video.
hospitals will tell you if theyre looking for people
Don't go to X-Ray school! Don't waste time or money for a part time or per diem job. Thank me later 😏
Shakira Rorie Yes, I actually went to several hospitals asking techs and nursing about thier jobs, ironically the nurses where positive the techs stated everything he's saying it is OVERSATURATED, this career is good for a housewife or something, I also went to Kieser because I was thinking of switching from lpn to rad tech, for 50,000 no, lol and they lied about job opportunities.... now going for RN
My heart aches
