X-ray Technician: The Most Rewarding Career In Medical Field

I highly recommend to be a X-ray technician to anyone who seeking a career in medical field. Why must in medical field?

Need. Everyone needs health care at some point. From birth to death, health care is a necessity. Vaccine shots are needed for kids to go to school. Physical exams are needed for sports and insurance. Everyone eventually needs to visit a medical facility at some point in their life.

Pay. Look up the pay wages of health care workers. There are not very many jobs that are low paying and on top of salary is all the benefits.

Benefits. Retirement packages of matched funds, variety in work schedules, scrubs, and countless others. I particularly like working in hospitals.

Hospitals. Everything you need is right next to you. Dirty clothes? Grab some scrubs. Hungry? Go to the cafeteria, which is discounted to you as an employee. Headache? Visit your in-house pharmacy. Car broke down? Every hospital has a bus stop nearby. Want to go back to school? Hospitals general reimburse all tuition fees up to a set amount as long as it improves your ability at work.

Which career in the health care field do I recommend? Definitely X-ray Technician. I am also encouraged by this field because of the upward movement potential. After you graduate as an X ray Tech, you can learn other skills on the job. Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are OJT skills. You do not have to go to school to learn them or be certified (although this will change some day.) Each new skill or modality earns you a bigger paycheck.

X-ray Technician training can also be a springboard to other programs such as Sonography (Ultrasound), Radiation Therapy, or Nuclear Medicine. These require an additional two years of schooling but afford you a nice pay jump.
