Spot on!! Fellow rad tech here going on my 13th year and currently done with all my CT requirements just studying for the boards now 😬 I cannot say enough good things about this career. Some images capture life, ours help save it. Arguably no one gets a diagnosis without some form of medical imaging. That to me is just amazing that we are such a important part of a patient's diagnosis and plan of care is very cool. Everything that you have said in your video is 100% accurate. great job 👏

“as a radiology tech, you will always be learning” that’s music to my ears honestly, currently studying physics but im interested in rad tech but am worried about potentially feeling stagnant, i like to be challenged. also hearing that progression and branching to other areas is obtainable will keep me interested and motivated 👏

Fantastic video, very educational. I graduated back in may of 2024 with my associates in buisiness management degree and could not find anything for months on end spiraling me into depression. This made me realize it is never to late to start a new career path and make a difference.

I'm currently in school for rad tech and this was super helpful. I'm glad to know there are so many faucets to this career.

Great video man, I've been working a few years in Psych as a PCA/PCT and have been thinking of becoming an xray tech, definitely learned something from you, I appreciate it!

Thank you! This was super informative. I’ve been struggling with choosing a career path and X-Ray is so interesting but it hard to find information on compared to careers like nursing! I’m currently a pharmacy tech at an inpatient hospital and radiology always seems so interesting when I’m stocking Omni cells.

Working 10 hour shifts for 7 years in a warehouse - hopefully makes this physically demanding part a little easier for me. 👌🏻

Great video! I’ve been a tech for almost 2 years, and I agree with everything you said.

Great video! it was very helpful and gave great insight of what to expect becoming a X-ray tech. I am interested in going back to school for radiology and this video was helpful on knowing what to expect. Thank you

Thanks for the video! I'm 1 year in MRI school and I'm excited to start clinical after finishing up the core classes :)

I finished high school last June and wanted a little break before starting school. Rad tech is whats #1 on my list on what to study and I appreciate this video greatly. I'm still somewhat unsure yet of what I'm going to do 100% but this video is lowkey making me more sure being a rad tech is in my future. I'm still pretty unsure about what my course will be like and the rest of it but thats what videos like yours are for, thanksss

The xray tech program would be a walk in the park for me, whats holding me back is the prerequisites, the stress, mental drain. If only i can just jump right into it.

Can you make a video sharing your experience on travel contracts? How do you get one? What kind of pay bumps did you see? what are the benefits/drawbacks? What kind of places can you work?

Really appreciate the videos!

[anthonyboarman]

I've always x-ray to be interesting. When they were discovered and how they are produced. You seem like fine young man. Best of luck to you.

As a massage therapist working with 8+ bodies A DAY back to back, the physical aspect of this seems like a little walk in the park ngl
