Radiology Techs are making six figures?
106140
Actually, even though it sounds far fetched, it is possible. Radiology Tech is a fairly hot field. A few years ago, I was doing a rotation at UCSF. A friend I knew from before med school was working there as a Rad Tech. He was making approx. $35/hour, had his apartment paid for and took home close to $900/month food allowance. He also took extra shifts across the Bay in Oakland for $50/hour. He explained to me that ultrasound techs make much more. His probaly isn't the average situation for most Rad Techs, but an example of what is possible. One caveat, he was a "traveler"--taking short term positions. If you are good, it can be a fairly nice lifestyle. As far as the 6 figures? Who knows? I'm sure this isn't what they make starting out or at public hospitals.

Median annual earnings of medical records and health information technicians (includes medical coding specialists) were $25,590 in 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $20,650 and $32,990. \n\nJob prospects should be very good. Employment of medical records and health information technicians is expected to grow much faster than average for all occupations through 2014 because of rapid growth in the number of medical tests, treatments, and procedures that will be increasingly scrutinized by health insurance companies, regulators, courts, and consumers. Also, technicians will be needed to enter patient information into computer databases to comply with Federal legislation mandating the use of electronic patient records.

East coast fl...I am a Surgical Tech but my aunt is head of the Radiography department. X-ray techs are a vital part of the healthcare industry. It is a reliable and growing field. Ask a local hospital if you can do a "shadow" of the department. Tell them you are going to be entering the program and would like to see how and what is envolved. You can also specialize in areas such as ultra sound tech to. YOu can do both and be more valuable. Try payscale.com for pay. Realize though that you have to consider the type of place, Hospital, or private practice, and many times you can get job placement through school. I hope that you really check on this it is a great area of healthcare.

Median annual earnings of respiratory therapists were $43,140 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $37,650 and $50,860. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $32,220, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $57,580. In general medical and surgical hospitals, median annual earnings of respiratory therapists were $43,140 in May 2004.\n\nThat information is brought to you by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.\n\nThe job outlook is very good with jobs increasing 18 - 26% in the next 8 years.  If you happen to have cardiopulmonary care skills, the outlook is even better.

Well it does depend! (Sorry 'bout that). There are many different doctors in many different fields. Oncology docs make around 100,000 a year and a heart doc makes around one million a year. Family docs make around 70.000 to 80.000.

A good tech should be paid at least 48 dollars an hour. Looks like you're making a healthy profit. Reasonable is in the eye of the beholder. I work for myself. I make the rules. I can give myself a raise on a whim. Charge whatever you like.\n.

I do know medics in the southeast are making between 30k and 40k per year.  I would venture to say this is a standard figure across the nation unless you are in one of the big cites, ie: NYC, LA, Dallas and so on.  Having said that, WE NEED NURSES!!!

the chemicals are mostly the same as any black and white darkroom chemicals, which i have been working with most my life. not a problem. it's the radiation, but the technician is protected from that, so i don't see that radiology is a hazardous occupation at all. in fact it is quite lucrative. go for it.
