Question

Answer 1

Honestly, a limited licensed Radiological Technician is going to limit your options when you try to find employment. I think the only places willing to hire you would be an orthopedic office. An imaging facility or hospital will require a fully licensed Radiologic Technologist as a Technician cannot preform many duties that are needed in those places. I can tell you that an orthopedic office will have lower pay and most do not employ full time techs, but, instead, use part-timers. If you are not going to be the bread winner in your family, this might not matter to you. Good luck to you!
