I would definitely suggest radiology over medical transcriptions. so many jobs of medical transcriptionists are being sent over to India and the Philippines because they'll work for about $2-4 an hour. it will be very hard to outsource radiology though. you also might want to look into being a dental hygienist or another lower-grade medical technician as that field is expected to grow rapidly.

Radiology technicians make great money and are in high demand, also medical laboratory technicians are always needed. Medical transcriptionists are slowly being phased out as more advanced computer systems, and voice recognition gets better. They make less, but can often work from home. You do need excellent typing and spelling skills though.

Find something that you are good at..........and then enter that program....once you are in that program, work your butt off and get scholarships so that you don't need to worry about financial aid being an issue.
Whatever you do...you will ideally be doing for the better part of your life. Basing that decision on how much financial aid you have left.....is not the best way to start.
Unfortunately, getting a great job requires an investment of hard work, time, and money.
Keeping a great job requires the investment of even more hard work and even more time.
So, forget the time period left on your financial aid, get your butt in gear, and find a program you can excel in and get the scholarships, and the great job!

No, you wish a ABET authorised measure in engineering. I am taking the FE exam in two weeks. Math is 20% easiest of the morning consultation exam, which involves Chemistry, Physics, Electromagnetism, Fluid Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of materials, pc Programming, Engineering Economics, and Engineering Ethics. One hundred twenty questions entire, four hours, then forty minute break earlier than the afternoon examination. The afternoon exam depends upon what FE exam module you're taking. Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical? The complete afternoon exam questions have to do with the designated engineering foremost. 60 questions entire, 4 hours.

first of all...unlike what the person who answered this question before me said, radiology techs are not "lower-grade" medical professionals! we are very important links in the health care chain! we help on all levels of health care...from monitoring a cold and cough with a chest x-ray to diagnosing colon cancer with a barium enema. we are present throughout all levels of health care systems. we take diagnostic x-rays for patients in a hospital, when someone comes through the ER we are there to help determine what is wrong with them, we even go to the operating rooms during surgeries to assist the surgeons by helping them visualize their patient's anatomy! your options in radiology are endless! we can specialize in many different modalities (i.e mammography, CT, MRI, ultrasound, angiography, PACS, etc.etc.) generally one can become a radiologic technologist by going through an accredited radiography program that is usually about 2 years in length (two years consisting of three semesters each, yes, we go to school straight through the summer ) radiology allows you to help your patients in a variety of ways! there is always something to be learned! i suggest you research this career field before jumping into it just because you only have two years of financial aid left. even if your financial aid runs out, if there is a will to do something that you believe in, there will always be way to make it happen! good luck to you! by the way, in case you couldn't tell, I am a radiologic technologist who practices in a busy hospital and trauma center.

You should not base your major on what things you can learn before your aid runs out. To be really useful, your college degree should relate to the career you really want to pursue.
How much do you want to earn?
Do you mind working odd hours?
Do you love/hate working with people?
