One- Physically Demanding

There are downsides to any job, and unfortunately one downside to becoming a radiology technician is the physical strain of the position. Working on your feet every day that you work can cause many people discomfort. Lifting, sometimes of patients, may also be required of radiology technicians, which can be difficult.

Two- Long Hours

Depending on the place of employment, radiology technicians can be on call and required to show up to work at a moment’s notice. This is especially true of many hospitals. Working night shifts, weekends, and holidays may also be required. These long hours are often inconvenient and are something to consider before applying for a position.

Three- Very Employable

There are constant vacancies for workers in the medical field since the demand for medical staff is currently so high. Becoming a radiology technician is a great way to have a guaranteed job once you are done with school. The employment of radiology technicians is expected to continue to grow, so picking this as your career ensures you a job and financial stability for many years to come.

Four- Little Schooling Necessary

Many medical positions require extensive amounts of education to become employable, but radiology technicians usually only have to obtain an associate’s degree or equivalent certificate program to work. Most employers do not require any prior work experience for radiology technicians either, which allows students to quickly transition into work upon graduating.

Five- Room for Advancement

Radiology technicians do not have to stay in the same position their entire career. Opportunities for specialization within the radiology field, further certifications, and promotions make radiology technicians flexible in their daily duties and responsibilities. Many technicians will be promoted within their department to managerial positions to supervise incoming radiology techs.

Six- Great Earnings

Entry-level earnings of radiology technicians will vary depending on the state and place of employment, but most radiology technicians make close to $20/hour straight out of school. This amount only continues to grow as more experience is gained on the job. This is great for recent graduates, since only a couple of years of schooling can immediately payoff with a steady income.
