whats the annual salary of a sonographer with just an associates degree?
153683
This partly depends on where you live.  In larger midwest cities (I have heard from a friend who is just graduating from sonography school) that she expects to earn in the area of $27.00 per hour once she passes her registry exam.  Clinics and hospitals often will pay different rates - you might sacrifice some pay to work in a clinic and have better hours.  If you want to go into management later you will probably want to get your bachelors degree.

You deserve an ego boost.  \n\n1) Associates have value\n2) You have 3\n3) You have two related certificates\n4) You are multi-lingual\n5) You're in currently in school for a nursing career\n6) Demand for qualified nurses will continue to drastically increase for the rest of your lifetime\n7) Dependent upon your location/region, there is no reason not to get a job with an annual salary of at least $31 or $32k at the entry rate.  If you perform well, you could be at the market rate within 2-3 years.\n\nReady for the Truth?\n\n1) Associates do not have the power of BS's or BA's\n2) You're all over  the career board without any work experience\n3) You're suffering from a lack of confidence\n4) You don't know where you're going\n\nFixes:\n1) Figure out what you want to do\n2) Figure out a plan to get there\n3) Do it!\n\nGood Luck!

Nationally, diagnostic radiologist salaries vary from approximately $227,000 to $317,000 average annual salaries. A survey by the American Medical Group Association for all radiologist salaries shows the median wages for all diagnostic radiologists to be considerably higher than the average.  http://www.the-travel-nurse.com/radiologist_salaries.html\n\nCheck this link out:  http://www.managedcaremag.com/archives/0205/0205.compmon.html   It says that radiologists are in demand, but I could not find specific numbers regarding how many radiologists are in the USA.

I think it depends on where you want to live and what kind of job you want to do.  At my last job, there were a lot of people with MPHs.  It was a contract research organization and most of our contracts were with the government.  The positions held by MPH degree holders included data managers, protocol monitors, and project managers (clinical research associates).  I'm not sure what the starting salary was, but I'm guessing maybe $50-55k a year.  The thing is, many of the people with the masters degrees were doing the same exact work as somebody with a bachelor's degree.  \n\nSupposedly if you already have a clinical degree (i.e., MD or BSN) you are much more marketable.

with any doctor's degree, one would need a pre-med degree ( biology), 4 years of medical school, and 4 years of residency after that. Tha average salary is $165,000 a year; range from $110,000-$210,000 a year. I haven't heard of any outstanding schools for ob/gyn, but you can always try a search in your state for some results(?). hope this helps!

That would vary widely based on where you are, and what type of organization you work for (private vs. public hospital, insurance company, etc.)  Also, with an associate degree, you're not going to get far, you'll eventually need a bachelor's or even higher.

Great question, I'm currently finishing my bachelors degree in video production down here at LA film school. The benefits of a degree depend on your determination. It all really depends on how much you take your knowledge and experience and apply it to the job you get. You should never get a degree just for the piece of paper at the end, that way will get you no where. If you are really serious in gathering more information and education, a degree will get your further than none at all. As for salary goes, in my experience it helps a lot. I have seen a rise in my salary sense my years at school, and only hope to see them go up when i graduate. I would say at least $40,000 or more depending on your position with a company.

Ultrasound or Sonography is a good field to get into. unlike other radiology programs Ultrasound doesn't have radiation effect on your health. There are many schools in US depending where you go there might be different requirement. In california UCSD, Loma Linda University, Orange county college have almost the same requirements. You have to have a bachelor degree in any subject, or two years of alied health background to be qualified to get in the program. The program it self is one year full time with practical hours. Once you graduate you can make from $30 to $40 an hour depending on where and who you work for. Good luck.

Depends on the school and your level of education and whether you are hired as an associate professor, lecturer, department head, etc.  Also depends on whether your postion is temporary, term or tenure track.  But generally they make more than teachers in the school system.  A full professor would earn more than $100,000, while an assistant or assocate professor would make only about $60,000. And you wouldn't start as a full professor.  You have to work your way up in the university system.   Starting salaries can be quite low - as low as $35,000.  \n\nI hope this helps.

There are many factors that are considered that range from certifications, education and experience. Generally speaking entry level with no education, certification, or experience you should make between 25and 30 g a year. If you would have A+ certification or MOUS certification yoor salary range should increase to about 35-45 g per year with an associates degree or equivalent experience that should add between 10 and 15 g a year and entry level with a bachelors should start at between 75 and 80 g  a year.

Well, to be honest it is not worth a whole lot. My wife has only a junior college degree and it did not help her much for finding employment. With a junior college degree you're still probably only going to get an entry level position. Employers are looking for either experience or a more prestigious degree. If you're going to go to junior college, that's a great idea, but only if you continue to get your bachelor's. Otherwise the associate's by itself is really not that valuable.
