School is 2 years full time. The median yearly salary is $45,000 but this varies a lot. Besides regular x-rays, we also do live x-ray in operating room cases, portable x-rays in ICU and ER, gastrointestinal exams (upper GI, esophagram, barium enema), hysterosalpingograms (for infertility), IVPs (looks at kidneys, ureters, and bladder), we can do cases in the morgue to find cause of death, and the list goes on and on and on.......

My sister is one. You go to a technical school for two years. Not easy to get in so don't give up if you don't get accepted at first. She has been trained by the hospital to take Cat Scans and now she makes good money and is buying her own home!
